RUSTIC ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLE CHOWDER



Rustic Roasted Winter Vegetable Chowder image

A thick and hearty soup with butternut squash, sweet potatoes, parsnips, and more. Serve with a crusty loaf of bread for a cozy winter dinner. And don't worry about your vegetable dices being exact. It's supposed to be rustic!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 small butternut squash (peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch dice) (about 2 cups)
3 medium parsnips (peeled, cut into 1-inch dice) (about 1 cup)
1 medium sweet potato (peeled, cut into 1-inch dice) (about 1 cup)
2 medium carrots (peeled, cut into 1-inch dice) (about 1 cup)
1/2 fennel bulb (quartered & sliced thin) (about 1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon + 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or coarse sea salt
2 tablespoons + 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 medium onion (diced) (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups vegetable broth
2 medium russet potatoes
4-5 fresh thyme sprigs
1 cup milk (I use 2%, but anything from nonfat to whole should work just fine or unsweetened plain almond milk)
Additional salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
More pepper + thyme leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash, parsnips, sweet potatoes, carrots, and fennel with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt. Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast until tender and browned in places, about 40 minutes, turning a couple of times while roasting.
  • While the veggies are roasting, prepare the base of the soup. To a large saucepan over low heat, add 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onion along with a pinch of salt and a bit of pepper, then cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in the vegetable broth. Add the potatoes and thyme. Bring to a boil over medium heat then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Remove from heat. Pick out the thyme stems and discard.
  • Stir in the roasted vegetables. Carefully transfer about 3 cups of the chowder to the pitcher of a blender. Puree until smooth. Return the pureed mixture to the pot and stir to combine. The soup should be thick, rich, and creamy.
  • Stir in the milk. Place the pot back on the burner, and, with the heat on medium-low, return to a simmer, stirring often to prevent burning.
  • Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve garnished with an additional turn of cracked pepper and thyme leaves. Sometimes, I'll reserve a few of the roasted veggies for garnish too.

  • Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until tender.
  • Add carrots and celery and cook for 10 minutes or until carrots become a little tender. Add water or broth, potatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until all vegetables are tender.
  • Add canned and skim milk and parsley and heat just to boiling.
  • In a separate bowl stir cornstarch into cold water. When completely dissolved add to hot soup, stir and serve. Top with chives.
  • If you want a less chunky soup, puree half of the veggies before adding the cornstarch and then use half the amount of cornstarch.

Yield Makes 6 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 bacon slices, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 medium leeks, thinly sliced (white and pale green parts only)
1 pound parsnips, peeled, cut into 1/3-inch dice
3 medium carrots, peeled, cut into 1/3-inch dice
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 cups reduced-fat (2%) milk
3 cups (or more) vegetable broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in large pot over medium heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Add oil to drippings in same pot; heat over medium heat. Add leeks; sauté until tender but not brown, about 7 minutes. Add parsnips, carrots, garlic, and thyme; sauté 5 minutes. Stir in potatoes, then flour; stir 1 minute to coat. Gradually add milk and 3 cups broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered until vegetables are tender and soup thickens slightly, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill bacon. Cool chowder slightly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm before continuing, thinning with more broth, if desired.)
  • Stir bacon into chowder. Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with parsley; serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables for a more flavorful chowder. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, corn, and peas.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. A good starting point is to use salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add herbs like thyme, oregano, or rosemary.
  • If you want a thicker chowder, add a roux made from butter and flour. For a lighter chowder, use a cornstarch slurry.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Serve the chowder with a side of bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Vegetable chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a pot of vegetable chowder that will warm you up from the inside out.
