EASY HEALTHY ROASTED VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line to large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Add the eggplant, cauliflower, onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes, zucchini, and carrots to the baking sheets, making sure they're in a single layer.
• Drizzle the olive oil over top and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35-40 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork and the vegetables are beginning to brown slightly.
• Add all the roasted vegetables and their juices to a large pot over medium heat and add the stock.
• Allow the mixture to come to a low boil and reduce the heat until the mixture begins to simmer.
• Simmer for about 10-15 minutes and then turn off the heat.
• Add the coconut milk (or half and half) and puree until smooth.
• Serve with a dollop of your favourite yogurt and some fresh herbs for garnish.

ROASTED VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Add the zucchini, yellow squash, onion and bell peppers to a large mixing bowl and toss with the olive oil, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic until coated. Divide the vegetables between 2 baking sheets and arrange them in a single layer. Roast, turning the vegetables halfway through, until they start to deepen in color and are slightly tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add the roasted vegetables to the bowl of a slow cooker along with the stock, stewed tomatoes, cream and bay leaf. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 3 hours.
• Remove the bay leaf, add the lemon juice and, using an immersion blender, pulse to blend the soup until you achieve a smooth and rustic texture. Stir, taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Serve in a bowl garnished with the chopped parsley. If freezing, cool the mixture completely, then transfer to freezer-safe bags, seal and place in freezer.

ROASTED VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat 3 cups of chicken stock. Coarsely puree the Roasted Winter Vegetables and the chicken stock in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade (or use a handheld blender). Pour the soup back into the pot and season, to taste. Thin with more chicken stock and reheat. The soup should be thick but not like a vegetable puree, so add more chicken stock and/or water until it's the consistency you like.
• Serve with Brioche Croutons and a drizzle of good olive oil.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, and butternut squash in 1 to 1 1/4-inch cubes. All the vegetables will shrink while baking, so don't cut them too small.
