Best Creamy Roasted Vegetable Soup Recipes

CREAMY ROASTED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400-degree. Heat two large baking sheets in the oven with 1 tablespoon chicken fat on each one. Spread the sliced mushrooms on one in an even layer ( don't add salt until they are cooked). Spread the onion, carrot and celery in an even layer on the other one. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Roast vegetables until golden brown and liquid has evaporated from mushrooms - about 35 minutes. Give the vegetables a stir once or twice during cooking.
• 2. In a large pot melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for about a minute. Whisk in cream cheese, milk, chicken drippings and chicken stock. Add the cooked vegetables, roasted chicken, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring often.
• 3. This recipe is a great way to use leftover roasted chicken. To save time, I roast the vegetables at the same time I roast the chicken. The next day, the soup comes together fairly quickly.

CREAMY ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLE SOUP OR CHOWDER

Steps:

• 1. Put all vegetables in a large roasting pan and toss with olive oil, herbs and spices.
• Pour in 1 cup veg. broth and 1/2 cup wine
• Roast at 400 degrees stirring occasionally until vegetables are fork tender and slightly brown. (40 minutes to 1 hour)
• In a large dutch oven or soup pot heat 2 tbls butter. Add roasted vegetables making sure to get all of the good juices and scrapings from the bottom of the roasting pan. Next add the remainder of 1 qt of vegetable broth bring to a simmer, then puree with an immersion blender or in small batches in a blender. If it seems too thick thin down with more broth.
• Add one cup milk and one cup of defrosted corn and heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. At this point if you like hot sauce ( we use tabasco) add to taste. Sometimes I add a little curry powder at this point instead of tabasco. Either hot sauce or curry could be added to the bowls of those eating the soup.
