ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Divide the root vegetables evenly on two large baking sheets. Drizzle each with 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil and season each with 1/2 teaspon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place both baking sheets in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes minutes flipping once rotating trays halfway through.
• Heat a large pot over medium heat and add in 1 teaspoon olive oil, yellow onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook for about five minutes. Next, add the roasted root vegetables and stir. Then, add the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and simmer for ten minutes.
• Turn off the heat and let soup cool. Then, using an immersion blender blend the soup to desired consistency. You can also blend the soup in batches in a blender or food processor. Add the soup back to the pot and heat when ready to serve.

Add the vegetable stock, escarole, navy beans, Parmesan rind and 4 cups water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes to melt the Parmesan into the soup and combine the flavors. Season to taste with salt. Remove and discard the Parmesan rind.
• Right before serving, stir in the thyme and lemon zest.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss the carrots, parsnips, beets and radishes together with the thyme, garlic, olive oil, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.

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.
• Place all the cut vegetables in a single layer on 2 sheet pans. Drizzle them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender, turning once with a metal spatula.
• Sprinkle with parsley, season to taste, and serve hot.
• Slice the bread about 3/4-inch thick. Cut off the crusts and then cut the slices in 3/4-inch dice. You should have 3 to 4 cups of croutons.
• Place the croutons on a sheet pan and toss them with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, tossing once, until they're nicely browned on all sides. Cool to room temperature before using and store in a sealed plastic bag.

CHUNKY VEGETABLE SOUP (WITH ROASTED ROOT VEGGIES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Place root veggies into a large bowl and add cloves of garlic, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, rosemary, thyme, 3/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Toss to combine.
• Grab a large sheet pan sheet (or use two smaller ones) and spread 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over to lightly grease. Spread veggies and garlic out onto the sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes or until tender, stirring halfway through cooking. Once veggies and garlic are cooked, carefully remove from the oven and set aside.
• Then heat remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until tender.
• Once the roasted garlic cloves are cool enough to handle, peel off skins and mash/chop the cloves.
• Add roasted veggies to pot with onion, along with roasted garlic, beans, vegetable broth (I like to add 4.5 cups of broth. Use another 1/2 cup if you want a looser or thinner consistency) and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat (to about medium-low heat) to a simmer (we are just heating up the broth and beans at this point). Cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Optional: Remove about 1 cup of soup from the pot, place into a heat-safe container and carefully blend with an immersion blender. Stir back into pot of soup. Note: If you don't have an immersion blender, just mash some with a potato masher.
• To serve, divide the soup into bowls and garnish (if desired) with your favourite soup toppings. Enjoy! Yields about 4 to 5 servings.

ROASTED ROOTS & SAGE SOUP

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the root vegetables and garlic with 1 tbsp oil and season. Tip onto a baking tray and roast for 30 mins until tender. Toss with the maple syrup and the chopped sage, then roast for another 10 mins until golden and glazed. Brush the whole sage leaves with ½ tsp oil and add to the baking tray in the last 3-4 mins to crisp up, then remove and set aside.
• Scrape the vegetables into a pan, squeeze the garlic out of the skins, discarding the papery shells, and add with the stock, then blend with a stick blender until very smooth and creamy. Bring to a simmer and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Divide between bowls. Serve with a swirl of yogurt and the crispy sage leaves.
