    Usually when I make soups I boil the veg in the water then blend. Does roasting it first improve the taste?

      Yeah, like @[email protected] said, the maillard reaction makes stuff taste nice! Compare a boiled potato to a roast potato and see which is better - it usually takes more time to roast over boiling but it’s worth it.

      Yes, especially if you use relatively highly heat to get some browning. Called the maillard reaction and makes food taste good. Browning a steak in a hot pan is the same thing.
