How to Make Roasted Vegetable Soup

Preheat oven: Set to 175°C FAN (350°F).
Roast the vegetables: Add onions, garlic (skin on), peppers, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, and rosemary to a large baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, sage, and Italian herbs. Toss to coat.
Bake: Roast for 25 minutes. Stir and continue roasting for another 20–25 minutes until vegetables are golden and caramelized.

Prep for blending: Remove rosemary and peel garlic. Transfer vegetables to a large pot.
Blend: Add vegetable stock and blend with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.
Finish: Stir in cream, adjust seasoning, and reheat gently if needed.

Serve: Ladle into bowls and top with a swirl of cream or a crack of black pepper. Pair with crusty bread.

Soup-Making Tips

For a dairy-free version, skip the cream or use coconut milk.
Add chili flakes if you want a kick.
Use whatever vegetables you have—parsnips, squash, or leeks work beautifully.

This soup freezes like a dream. Just cool completely, then store in freezer-safe containers.

The Backstory on This Bowl

This soup came to life during a “clean out the fridge” kind of day. I had a little bit of everything—carrots, tomatoes, a few sad-looking sweet potatoes—and decided to roast it all. A splash of cream later and it became one of those magical meals where everyone asked for seconds. Now it’s a go-to for fall and winter, perfect for lazy Sundays or weeknight meal prep.

What to Serve with Roasted Vegetable Soup

Keep it simple with a chunk of crusty bread or a slice of garlic toast. Want to make it heartier? Pair it with a grilled cheese or a fresh side salad. It also makes a beautiful starter for a holiday meal.

How to Store and Reheat

Cool leftovers completely and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. Freeze in individual portions for up to 3 months—perfect for those days when cooking feels like too much.

FAQs

Can I use a blender instead of an immersion blender?

Yes—just blend in batches and be careful with the hot liquid.

What’s the best cream substitute?

Try coconut milk, cashew cream, or even Greek yogurt (added after reheating).

Can I make it ahead of time?

Absolutely. It reheats beautifully and the flavors get even better the next day.
