This Roasted Vegetable Soup is Dairy-Free, Luscious and Nutritious. A soup that is perfect as a Winter Warmer meal or just about anytime of the year.
ALHMADULILLAH (Praise be to the Almighty), time and tide awaits no man. Like clockwork, the change of seasons are guaranteed, and yet again we, in South Africa, are already into our winter months. As April drew to a close, so too did the last bits of autumn, and with it came the very 1st cold fronts that heralded the start of Winter, which was especially felt in Johannesburg (High veld).
Heartwarming soups and foods, are are go to option to help keep the chill away. I have been making a few different soups already, and with it being Ramadaan, this helps nourish the body at the end of a fasting day. This Roasted Vegetable Soup is rather easy to make, and what I enjoy about this recipe, is that the very same Roasted Vegetables used for the soup, MAY also be used as a side dish. So it’s more like a 2-in-1 recipe that I share with you today.
Being Diary-Free, This Lightly Spiced Roasted Vegetable Soup, is perfect for Vegan and Vegetarian Diets. Any quantity of vegetables may be used, but preferably should have some potato or sweet potato that adds bulk to the soup. Store bought ready cut fresh roasting vegetables may be used, or you can add a variety of vegetables mentioned in the recipe. To lock in most of the nutrition from the vegetables, leave the skin on for potatoes/courgettes(baby marrow). The Roasted Vegetables has been Spiced Lightly, that helps lift the flavour profile of the Roasted Vegetable Soup, but if you feel the spice may be too much for you, then reduce amounts.
So no excuse for preparing a simple yet delicious meal or side dish, this winter. Give this Roasted Vegetable Soup a try, and I look forward to hearing from you in comments below, or via any of my social media platforms.
Time to get out those Wooden Spoons and Aprons, and Let’s get down to preparing this Lightly Spiced Vegetable Soup.
Happy ‘SOUP MAKING’ lovelies
