A smooth and creamy roasted vegetable soup made from caramelized root veggies, garlic, and herbs. Naturally vegan and gluten-free — perfect for cozy lunches or clean-eating dinners.
2 large carrots, chopped
1 sweet potato, peeled and chopped
½ head cauliflower or 2 parsnips
1 onion, quartered
1 red bell pepper (optional)
4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
2–3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper
4 cups vegetable broth
Optional: ½ cup coconut milk, fresh thyme, smoked paprika
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Toss chopped vegetables and garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 35–40 minutes.
Remove garlic skins. Transfer roasted veggies to blender with broth. Blend until smooth.
Pour into pot, heat gently, and stir in coconut milk if using.
Adjust seasoning and serve warm with garnish of choice.
Soup thickens as it sits — add broth to adjust consistency.
Great with added white beans or lentils for protein.
