Preparation

In a big pan at medium heat, add about 1/4 cup olive oil followed by the veggies and Provence herbs then season with salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 8-10 minutes to caramelize well. Add oil if needed.
Add the chicken broth (enough to cover), season with salt and pepper, stir well then bring to a boil. Reduce to low heat, cover and let simmer 45 minutes or until veggies are ultra soft and fork tender. Reduce to a puree with a blender of a hand mixer until ULTRA smooth. You have a Vitamin?
