Root Vegetable Soup
Ingredients
  • 3 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 turnips, quartered
  • 1 (2 pound) butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 celery root, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1/2 sweet onion, diced
  • 1 quart vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting of 425 degrees Fahrenheit or 220 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, gather an assortment of root vegetables including parsnips, carrots, turnips, butternut squash, celery root, and sweet potatoes. Place them in a substantial roasting pan.
3
Now, drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle them with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the vegetables by giving them a thorough toss.
4
Subsequently, subject the vegetables to heat in the preheated oven until they can be easily pierced with a fork, taking between 30 to 45 minutes, and stirring every 15 minutes.
5
In the meantime, melt butter in a large cooking vessel or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced celery and onion to the pot, stirring constantly until the onion becomes soft and translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Introduce vegetable broth into the pot and bring it to a gentle simmer, uncovered.
6
Now, incorporate the roasted vegetables into the pot, continuing to simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency.
7
Subsequently, stir in half-and-half and season with salt and black pepper to taste. If the soup becomes too thick, add more vegetable broth as needed.
