Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 400℉.
  2. Peel and chop you veggies, drizzle with EVOO, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Roast on a lined baking sheet on the center rack for 30-40 minutes.
  4. Bring a medium pot to medium-low heat and melt your butter.
  5. Next add the flour, slowly, whisking into the butter to form a roux. Stir constantly while the roux thickens, then slowly whisk in your veggie broth.
  6. Add your roasted veggies and season with 1/8 tsp cinnamon and 1/8 tsp salt, adjusting amounts to taste as needed. You can also thin the broth to your idea of perfect consistency using a little extra broth! My husband prefers thin soups; I like mine thick! Both are glorious! Simply adjust seasoning to taste if you add additional broth, easy peasy.
  7. Blend soup using an immersion blender, or in batches using a blender or food processor.
  8. Serve hot, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon and crispy garlic bread croutons plus any of your desired toppings from the list above. This scrumptious soup is so easy to customize. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For the optional garlic bread croutons: preheat oven or toaster oven to 350℉. Chop bread into small cubes, drizzle with garlic-spiked butter with a pinch of salt, and toss to coat. Top with sesame seeds (optional but tasty) and sprinkle with paprika. Toast until golden brown.
