Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 2 carrots, peeled and chopped 2 celery stalks, chopped 1 head broccoli, florets chopped 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1 zucchini, chopped 4 cups vegetable broth 1/2 cup heavy cream Salt and black pepper to taste Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss chopped carrots, celery, broccoli, red bell pepper, and zucchini with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. 2. In a large pot, heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. 3. Add the roasted vegetables and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and let it cook for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld. 4. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth and creamy. Return the pureed soup to the pot. 5. Stir in the heavy cream. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Heat gently until warmed through, but do not boil. 6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor in your Creamy Roasted Veggie Soup, roast a few cloves of garlic with the other vegetables. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg for warmth. This soup freezes well for future convenience, just omit the cream until reheating and add it then.
