SAVORY ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES



Savory Roasted Root Vegetables image

Beets were my sworn enemy until I tried them like this, it's a great way to use root vegetables. I think the beets add a beautiful red color to the dish, but if it bothers you to serve pinkish vegetables, substitute parsnips, rutabaga, or any similar vegetable; be creative!

ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP

Here's a simple, robust, cold-weather soup that you can make with almost any mixture of root vegetables you have to hand: carrots, parsnips, celery root, turnips, rutabaga, sweet or regular potato. Flavored with garlic, rosemary and bay leaves on top of a saute of onions and celery, it's an earthy, sweet, and warming meal for days where the air has some bite. Top with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice, some grated cheese, flaky salt and a shower of black pepper.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion or 2 leeks (white and light green part only), chopped
2 to 3 celery stalks, diced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 rosemary or thyme branches
2 bay leaves
3 1/2 pounds mixed root vegetables (carrot, parsnip, celery root, turnip, rutabaga, sweet or regular potato), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 teaspoons fine sea salt, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, more as needed
Juice of 1/2 lemon, more for serving
Extra-virgin olive oil
Flaky sea salt
Crushed Aleppo, Urfa or other chile flakes, optional

Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, 30 to 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of root vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, parsnips, turnips, and rutabagas.
  • Roast the vegetables before adding them to the soup. This will caramelize the vegetables and give them a deeper flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you can, use homemade broth, but store-bought broth is also fine.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of cream or milk for a richer flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a crusty bread or roll. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Savory root vegetable soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a cold winter day or a light lunch. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and nutritious soup that the whole family will enjoy.
