Roasted Vegetable Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 acorn squash
• 2 medium russet potatoes
• Small bundle broccoli
• Approx. 2 cups cut green beans
• 2 carrots
• 1 leek
• 1 yellow onion
• 1 garlic clove
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil – plus a little extra to drizzle over acorn squash before roasting
• 2 32 oz boxes low sodium chicken broth
• 4 ounces heavy cream

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cut acorn squash in half, drizzle with olive oil and salt generously. Roast in the oven for about 40 minutes flesh side down on baking sheet. Remove and set aside once done (you should be able to easily scrape out all the meat with a spoon).

Heat 2 boxes chicken broth in large saucepan. While broth heats, in a separate sauté pan, heat olive oil. While oil is heating, add whole garlic clove and brown on all sides. Remove garlic once browned and add onion. Sauté until onion is translucent and starting to slightly brown, add salt to taste. Remove from heat and set aside

Rough cut veggies and add all (minus sautéed onion) to broth along with 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Let boil for 1-2 minutes and then reduce heat to a rolling simmer. Cover and let simmer for about 30 – 45 minutes. Once all veggies are soft, add the acorn squash, sautéed onion, and cream, reduce heat and let simmer for another 5 minutes. Puree all the ingredients in the pot and add salt and pepper to taste.
