Roasted Root Vegetable Soup
Roasted Root Vegetable Soup
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3-4 sweet potatoes, cut into chunks
- 2 carrots, cut into thick rounds
- 1 celeriac, cut into chunks
- 8 oz white beans, these could be canned if in a pinch, otherwise, Vermont cranberry or Calypso from some local farmers are great
- 1 onion, quartered
- 3 bay leaves
- Thyme sprigs, or about a ½ teaspoon dried
- Rosemary sprigs, or about a ½ teaspoon dried
- 5 cups vegetable stock
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Toss all the veggies with the oil and then spread out on a baking sheet. Try to do a single layer if you have multiple baking sheets. If not, make sure to turn them more frequently.
- Tuck the bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary among the veggies.
- Roast for 50 minutes or until tender. Turn the vegetables to try and get them to brown on as many sides as possible.
- Once removed from the oven, discard the bay leaves and sprigs (if using) and transfer the vegetables to a large saucepan.
- Pour the stock into the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Next, either use a hand blender/immersion blender or food processor/blender and process until thick and smooth.
- Return soup to pan and add salt and pepper as desired. Ready!
