Roasted Root Vegetable Soup

Root vegetables are drizzled with olive oil then roasted until sweet and caramelized in this simple but satisfying winter vegetable soup recipe. Chipotle peppers add subtle heat and smoky flavor.

Soup season is the best season, am I right? As much as I love salads, (and believe me, you know this girl loves salad!), there is just magical about soup season. 

This creamy roasted root vegetable soup recipe is more of a rough guideline than a specific recipe you have to follow to a T. Ideal for any root vegetables you may have on hand, feel free to use whatever you have sitting around including potatoes, parsnips, carrots, squash and more.

The real secret to this mouth-watering soup is the balance of sweet honey, smoked paprika and tangy whole milk yogurt. For added texture and crunch, I love roasting a handful of the reserved butternut squash seeds to sprinkle on top right before serving.

If you prefer more of a kick, double the cayenne or puree a couple chipotle peppers in adobo sauce when pulsing the roasted vegetables. Want it sweeter? Drizzle in more honey. Prefer it creamier? Stir in more yogurt.

Whatever you do, just make this soup your own. You won’t regret it.

Your spoon is waiting.
