Baked Swede and Carrot Soup

Usually I make vegetable soups by boiling the vegetables in a broth and blending, which usually works fine. This method is completely different in that I had swede in the refrigerator, carrots and a single potato…so I thought about roasting them and then turning it into a soup. Roasting develops the sweet flavours and makes any vegetable tastier, so it definitely works when making soups.

I have to be honest, not all the roasted potato pieces made it into the soup (some I did eat on their own) but what the potato does is thicken the soup and give it a richness that may otherwise be missing. This kind of soup can also be made with other root vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips or anything else you may have lying around.

This soup is delicious and tastier and a little sweeter than if the vegetables had been boiled in a broth. It doesn’t need much else other than seasoning and for presentation purposes, some chopped parsley as a garnish.
