Root Vegetable And Bean Soup Food

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.

ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Cut the onion, carrot, celeriac, potato, fennel, turnip, and artichokes into medium to large chunks. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot. Add the onion and cook until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the carrot, and cook for 5 minutes, and then add the remaining vegetables at 5 minute intervals, adjusting the heat as necessary so the vegetables don't brown. When all the vegetables are soft, add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the soup has come together; it should have a thick consistency. Garnish each bowl with the chile powder and more olive oil.
