Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 to 4 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 quart Roasted Winter Vegetables, recipe follows
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
For serving:
Brioche Croutons, recipe follows
Good olive oil
1 pound carrots, peeled
1 pound parsnips, peeled
1 large sweet potato, peeled
1 small butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled and seeded
3 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
6 ounces brioche loaf or challah
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

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.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion or 2 leeks (white and light green part only), chopped
2 to 3 celery stalks, diced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 rosemary or thyme branches
2 bay leaves
3 1/2 pounds mixed root vegetables (carrot, parsnip, celery root, turnip, rutabaga, sweet or regular potato), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 teaspoons fine sea salt, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, more as needed
Juice of 1/2 lemon, more for serving
Extra-virgin olive oil
Flaky sea salt
Crushed Aleppo, Urfa or other chile flakes, optional
Grated Parmesan or pecorino, optional

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Stir in onion and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. Heirloom varieties are a great option, as they often have a more complex flavor than hybrid tomatoes.
  • Roast the vegetables: Roasting the vegetables before adding them to the soup intensifies their flavor. Be sure to toss them in olive oil and salt before roasting, to help them caramelize.
  • Use a variety of root vegetables: Different root vegetables will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good options include carrots, parsnips, turnips, and rutabagas.
  • Add some greens: A handful of chopped greens, such as kale, spinach, or arugula, will add a pop of color and nutrition to your soup.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste your soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.

Conclusion:

This autumn tomato and root vegetable soup is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold night. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is easy to make. So next time you are looking for a comforting and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try.
