Roasted veggies soup.
Today I’m sharing a recipe, a hearty roasted vegetable soup, absolutely inspired by the fall season and pumpkins and squashes and sweet potatoes. It summarizes the warmth and bright colors of autumn…
From late September to late November, when we celebrate Thanksgiving, pumpkins and all kinds of squash are present in gardens, porches, patios and windows, as they are on my table as colorful and nutritious ingredients.
Take a look at this soup. In a bowl I have the best of the season: colorful, tasty, it’s a variation of my classic butternut squash soup.Its main ingredient is butternut squash which I roasted with some tubers including sweet potatoes, carrots and turnips, plus red bell pepper.As this time of year we usually need more calories, I garnish this soup with fresh goat cheese pearls (which I made with my hands) and bacon bits. The combination is perfect and is delicious for lunch with half a sandwich, or as dinner appetizer.
