Roasted Beet, Pumpkin & Carrot Soup

Published on By: Josh and Brent


We’re gonna be honest. Brent really did not like the color of this soup. But the taste is hard to beat on a cold fall or winter evening. And it’s an extremely healthy meal for the start of cold and flu season. Simple, hearty, and healthy. Add some red pepper flakes for extra kick.

Roasted Beet, Pumpkin & Carrot soup.

Ingredients:

1 small sugar pumpkin (not Jack-O-Lantern pumpkin,) or 3 cups of pumpkin puree
3 large carrots,
1 large beet
1 medium onion
3 Tablespoons olive oil
4 cups of chicken stock.
1 cup of sour cream or creme fraiche
1/2 cup of fresh, flat leaf parsley, chopped.
salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat oven to 400F. Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut sugar pumpkin in half, top to bottom. Scoop out pulp and seeds, remove stem, and place cut side down on foil. Place washed carrots, beets, and peeled onion alongside pumpkin halves. Drizzle with olive oil, cover tightly with aluminum foil. Roast for approx 90 minutes, or until all vegetables are easily poked through with sharp knife. (Be careful when removing foil to avoid injuries from steam.) Remove from oven, and transfer beet, carrots and onion to large, heavy saucepan. Once pumpkin has cooled enough to handle, scoop flesh into saucepan with other vegetables. Add chicken stock. Bring mixture to boil, mashing vegetables with either potato masher or immersion blender. (Or let cool and puree in blender or food processor.) Stir in salt and pepper to taste. When still hot, but removed from heat, stir in sour cream until it melts and incorporates, and parsley. Serve immediately.

    This sounds fabulous! I feel like I need to start creating a binder of recipes to make NOW! Every recipe I come across on the site entices me. I am currently a college student (senior year-Woo hoo!) so I do not cook my own meals yet but when I do these are excellent options to consider during this season.

    By the way, I live in Chicago and I am very much set on the fact that I want to garden vegetables all year round and also an future activity when I have kids. I was wondering would you guys ever consider making a tutorial book on how to plant/garden your own food in your backyard (all types-city or suburb homes)? I would not know where to start but I figure there has to be some books out but I’d much rather learn from you two! ;-) Hope I am able to cross paths with you two sometime in Chicago.

    Best Wishes,
