Roasted Carrot Butternut Squash Soup
This roasted butternut squash soup has a special guest hidden inside - carrots! This soup is so wonderfully comforting, I actually just made it as a freezer meal for my sister who recently welcomed a beautiful baby girl! If you're looking for more freezer friendly recipes, or recipes to make for new parents, I also made her several other meals that I will be posting shortly. This soup is also vegan and healthy, making it a fantastic choice for a fall comfort food.
Roasting the veggies definitely adds a depth of flavor to the soup that you can't achieve by simply boiling them, so don't skip this step! It also helps give the soup its thick, creamy texture because the veggies don't absorb a bunch of water/broth while cooking like they would if they were boiled or steamed. You will notice the recipe calls for 1-2 cups of veggie broth. This is because not only do squash and carrots differ in their sizes, but everyone has a different idea of what the perfect blended soup consistency is. As you can see, my soup was very thick; I only used 1 cup of broth, and my carrots and squash were average sized. If you prefer a thinner soup then add more broth! If you have giant carrots and a giant squash, add more broth. To make this soup look fancy sprinkle a few pumpkin seeds on top and serve with some fresh bread. Yum!
