roasted vegetable soup

i have never been much a fan of winter, but i am lucky enough to work from home, so i really can’t complain too hard. my ideal winter evening would involve curling up in front of the fireplace with a glass of red wine and a big bowl of this tasty soup.


ingredients:

about 8 c chopped veggies in roughly 1” cubes. i used carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, squash, potato, yam and cabbage.
1/4 c olive oil
3 T garlic
2 T ginger
1/4 c chopped fresh oregano
salt and pepper to taste
4 c broth/water and bulleion
1 T dried parsley
1 t sambal olek or other hot sauce (optional)

to make:

throw all your veggies in a big bowl.
mix olive oil, garlic, ginger and oregano together.
cover the veggies in the oil/spices, and mix well. let it sit for an hour or two, stirring occasionally, making your house smell amazing.
pour veggies into a large dish (lasagna pan or similar)
put veggies in the oven - middle rack, 400 degrees. pull them out every 20 minutes or so and stir. roast until veggies are tender, about an hour and a half or so.
pour 4 c of water or broth (i used water and 2 bullion cubes) into a large pot. add veggies, parsley and hot sauce, and boil.
enjoy!
