Roasted Root Vegetable Soup
Root vegetables are drizzled with olive oil then roasted until sweet and caramelized in this simple but satisfying winter vegetable soup recipe.
Ingredients
- 4 cups butternut squash peeled cubes
- 2 parsnip peeled and cut in 2-inch pieces
- 1 sweet potato (peeled and cut in 2-inch pieces)
- 1 onion quartered, medium
- 1 carrot (peeled and cut in 2-inch pieces)
- 8 cloves garlic peeled, whole
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper or pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup whole milk yogurt plain
- 4 cups chicken broth low sodium
- butternut squash seeds optional garnish, roasted
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425 and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Place the first 10 ingredients in a large bowl (butternut squash through cayenne) and toss until evenly coated in oil and spices. Scatter into a single layer and roast until vegetables are caramelized and tender, about 30-35 minutes.
- Remove vegetables from the oven and place in a high speed blender or food processor. Add honey and pulse until smooth.
- Pour mixture into a large soup pot and stir in the chicken broth and plain yogurt. Heat over medium high heat until warmed through. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly before serving.
- Optional: Lightly roast the reserved butternut squash seeds in olive oil, salt and pepper for 5-6 minutes while vegetables are roasting to garnish soup before serving.
Notes
- Roasting the vegetables first is a great way to add depth of flavors to your soup. You could also try grilling the vegetables first!
