Roasted Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup

Roasting vegetables always brings their flavor to the forefront which is unmistakable in this soup, but once you combine that with the subtle hint of spices and lastly the cream this soup goes to award winning status.

This is BY FAR one of my favorite soups and I can hardly wait for Fall to come around so I can make it.

The sweetness of the butternut squash and sweet potatoes, the hardiness of the carrots and warm spices, is just like fall in a bowl.

Once you get those vegetables on a baking sheet and in the oven you will begin to understand just how good this is going to be.

As pretty as this picture looks, I quickly realized I needed TWO baking sheets for this soup.
I told you it was packed with nutrition!

My objective with taking this picture was to show you the size in which I cut up the veggies.  You want pretty good sized chunks, but most importantly the same SIZED chunks.

But once the veggies are nice and roasted I threw them in with the onions and garlic that were sauteeing away in a pot on the stove.  Then added the broth, spices and cream.

I, of course, use homemade chicken broth.  I always make it with no salt added so I can taste and add it to whatever I am making.

Once you have everything (except the cream) you can either emulsify the soup using an immersion blender like I have or very carefully blend it in a blender.  Then let the soup simmer for 15 minutes or so.

Taste it for seasoning and thickness.  I had to add a little more broth because like I said there’s a lot of veggies in there and depending on whether you use full sodium, low sodium or homemade broth, that will play in to how much salt you need to add.

This soup is very healthy, very low fat, very low sodium, gluten free.

If you’re going to have soup, make it GOOD soup and you have to top it with Whole Wheat Buttery Garlic Homemade Croutons!

It totally takes the soup to another happy level.
