For a vegan option, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the heavy cream and goat cheese, or replace them with plant-based alternatives. If you don't have fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme can be used instead. Roasting the vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and adds a depth of flavor to the soup. For a smoky flavor, roast the eggplant over an open flame on your stovetop before roasting in the oven.
