Our winter has been cold & this week the temperatures have barely made it to 3c. It is definitely comfort food weather & soups are always on the menu.
I love roast root vegetables - carrots, parsnips, butternut, onions, sweet potatoes, swedes etc. Roasting the vegetables really caramelises the flavours & a large tray of roasted vegetables lasts at least 2 meals then the remains are made in to a thick & nourishing soup. It takes a few minutes to boil it up in some additional vegetable stock, season, blend & serve with homemade croutons or bubbly cheese toasties.
I had roasted carrots & parsnips from supper, & coming back in after visiting some snowdrops, we needed something hot & nourishing.
After boiling, blitzing & seasoning I decided to add some orzo to it to give it substance without the bread.
I poured some in, stirred it & added a bit more water then gave it regular stirs for about 10 minutes until the orzo was al dente. Seasoned with black pepper & served.
What a hearty soup, a little goes a long way & perfect for a winters day.
What is your favourite soup? Inspire me please. Thank you for stopping by, it is always appreciated.
