    Soup: Roasted Winter Vegetable Soup

    Source of Recipe

    King Arthur Flour

    Recipe Introduction

    "If you like the sweet, smooth taste of winter root vegetables, you'll savor this soup. Creamy without any added dairy products, this is a wonderful vegetarian soup, if you use olive oil instead of butter and substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth. In addition, it's very high in vitamins A and C."

    List of Ingredients

    1 medium (2 1/2 to 3 pounds) butternut squash
    3 to 5 large parsnips (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
    3 to 4 large carrots (1 to 1 1/2 pounds)
    3 medium onions (12 to 14 ounces)
    3 tablespoons butter or olive oil
    3 to 5 cloves garlic, peeled
    6 cups water, vegetable broth, or chicken broth
    salt and pepper to taste

    Recipe

    Peel the squash, parsnips, carrots and onions, and dice them into 1-inch cubes. Toss them with the butter or oil, then spread them in one layer on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Roast the vegetables in a preheated 400°F oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes toss the vegetables around a bit, and add the garlic. Roast for an additional 30 minutes, turning the vegetables every 10 to 15 minutes; they need to brown and caramelize on the edges, to bring out their flavor.

    Once the vegetables are soft and caramelized on the edges, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly (for ease of handling). Puree them in a food processor or blender, or put through a ricer. Add some of the water or broth while processing the vegetables in order to make a smooth puree.

    Place the puree in a large pot, and stir in the remaining broth or water. Bring the soup to a simmer, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the soup hot.
