Steps:
- With a mortar and pestle, grind together rosemary and kosher salt. Pour in olive oil and continue to mash until the oil starts to turn a darker green. Set aside for about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Coat a shallow roasting pan with cooking spray.
- Place the squash, rutabagas, parsnips and potatoes in a large bowl. Pour the olive oil mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into the bowl. Toss vegetables with oil to coat.
- Evenly spread vegetables on the prepared pan. Roast 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until nicely browned and cooked through. You may need to remove some of the smaller pieces from the oven before all of the vegetables are cooked to avoid burning them.
- While the vegetables are roasting, simmer chicken stock in a large pot over medium low heat. When the vegetables are done add them to the simmering chicken stock and simmer together for about 10 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot, or puree in batches in a blender or food processor. Add extra broth or water if the soup is too thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve in warmed bowls, garnishing each serving by drizzling a quarter teaspoon of balsamic vinegar and a quarter teaspoon of white truffle oil over the soup.

Steps:
- Cut 4 pounds squash into large chunks. Cut remaining pound into 1/2-inch dice.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly oiled baking sheet, place ginger and diced squash. Bake until soft, about 20 minutes, turning ginger and squash pieces halfway through the cooking.
- Transfer ginger to a stockpot and reserve roasted squash. Add squash chunks to pot. Add cold water to cover by two inches, turn heat to medium, and heat to a bare simmer. The surface of the liquid should steam but never boil.
- In a hot skillet, toast all spices until lightly browned and fragrant. Add to pot along with 2 tablespoons salt. Cook slowly until squash is very soft, about 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare the winter vegetables, cut bite size, until just tender, blanching wax beans, chard or radishes; roasting brussels sprouts or cauliflower; or searing mushrooms.
- When broth is done, pour it through a strainer and lightly press on squash chunks to release all the liquid. Discard contents of strainer. Season broth to taste with salt.
- Boil noodles in plenty of salted water, then drain. Divide among 6 to 8 bowls. Divide roasted squash pieces and cooked vegetables on top of noodles. Ladle in broth just to cover noodles and serve immediately.

ROASTED VEGETABLE SOUP
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.

ROASTED WINTER SQUASH SOUP
I really liked this soup! The only change I made was to halve the recipe, and to add a couple teaspoons of curry powder. I also used a stick blender instead of a food processor. The squash by itself straight out of the oven was delicious, and the soup even more so. I served this in hollowed out roasted mini pumpkins, and it made a stellar presentation. I will definitely make this soup again for myself. I think it would also be very good drizzled with some yogurt and sage. [Bon Appetit, November 2005]

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables. For the best flavor, use a variety of vegetables that are in season. Winter vegetables such as butternut squash, carrots, parsnips, and turnips are all great choices.
- Roast the vegetables before adding them to the soup. Roasting the vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the vegetables in the oven or on a sheet pan over the stove.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth that has a rich flavor. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even beef broth.
- Add some herbs and spices to the soup. Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of the soup. Some good choices include rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic, and pepper.
- Don't overcook the soup. The vegetables should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. Overcooking the soup will make the vegetables mushy.
Conclusion:
Roasted winter vegetable and squash soup is a delicious and healthy way to warm up on a cold day. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
