Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 celery root, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 turnips, quartered
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 (2 pound) butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
1 stalk celery, diced
½ sweet onion, diced
1 quart vegetable broth
½ cup half-and-half cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Combine parsnips, carrots, celery root, turnips, sweet potato, and butternut squash in a large roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Toss vegetables to evenly distribute seasonings.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until the vegetables are easily pierced with a fork, 30 to 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in the celery and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer, uncovered. Stir in the roasted vegetables and continue simmering for 10 minutes. Puree the soup using an immersion blender. Stir in the half and half, and season with salt and pepper, if necessary. If the soup becomes too thick, add more vegetable broth.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium onion
1 large carrot
1 small celeriac
1 medium Yukon gold potato
1 medium bulb fennel, fronds reserved
1 medium turnip
5 Jerusalem artichokes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
8 cups chicken stock
Ground chile powder

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.

A+ ROOT SOUP



A+ Root Soup image

If you love sweet potatoes and carrots, then you will adore this recipe. I can just imagine settling in on a cold night with a big, steamy bowl... sigh.

Provided by Polly Anna

Categories     Cream Soups

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb carrots- sliced
2 large sweet potatoes - about 2lbs
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp butter
1 large onion-chopped
1 clove fresh garlic - or equivalent-optional
6 c chicken stock
1/2 c light sour cream-optional
salt and pepper to taste
justa pinch herbes de provence

Steps:

  • 1. Place sliced carrots in microwave safe container, add a splash of water, cover and microwave about 10 minutes. Or use any cooked carrots.
  • 2. The sweet potatoes can also be microwaved. Place on a plate and cover with a paper towel. Microwave until soft - they will smell great - about 8 minutes. Or use leftover baked sweet potatoes. Feel free to add left over boiled or baked white potatoes too.
  • 3. Saute onion in olive oil and butter in a large,heavy sauce pan until rich in color to develop flavor (just short of burning) add garlic near end of cooking, and pour in the six cups of chicken stock.
  • 4. Add carrots and potatoes. Let everything simmer about 10 minutes and then use your immersion blender to create a puree. If you have a conventional blender,divide into batches and return puree to the same pan.
  • 5. Salt and/or pepper to taste. Use white pepper if you are concerned about black specks in your beautiful orange soup. Let soup simmer 20 minutes or so.
  • 6. Serve plain or add a dollop of sour cream to each serving. You might want to get fancy and apply sour cream (thinned with milk) with a squirt bottle to make designs on your soup. A sprinkle of parsley or pinch of herb de provence can top it all off.

Tips:

  • Choose the right root vegetables: Use a variety of root vegetables to create a flavorful and nutritious soup. Some popular choices include carrots, potatoes, parsnips, turnips, and rutabagas.
  • Roast the root vegetables before adding them to the soup: Roasting the vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes them slightly, resulting in a richer flavor.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a broth that you enjoy the taste of. You can use vegetable broth, chicken broth, or beef broth.
  • Add herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of the soup. Some good choices include thyme, rosemary, sage, garlic, and onion.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to soften.
  • Serve the soup hot with crusty bread or a salad: A root vegetable soup is a hearty and filling meal that can be enjoyed on its own or with a side dish.

Conclusion:

A root vegetable soup is a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy the bounty of the harvest. With its vibrant colors, earthy flavors, and versatility, it's a soup that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
