Italian Roasted Vegetable Soup Recipe

Place fennel, onions and carrots onto a cookie sheet, pour oil over the top and mix the vegetables together making sure the oil has covered the vegetables. Place the cookie sheet on a medium high oven rack and broil the vegetables, stirring every 5 minutes until the ends become dark brown. Broiling takes 10 - 15 minutes. In a large pot brown the sausage, then remove the sausage and drain the fat. Add celery and sauté about 3 - 5 minutes. Add garlic, basil, oregano and roasted vegetables, sausage and chicken stock.
