Happy Monday Everyone! Are you loving this fall weather? I definitely am…and you knew it was only a matter of time before I started filling your recipe boxes with delicious fall soups! This Roasted Root Vegetable Soup is an absolutely wonderful way to usher in the fall!

This soup is made with vegetables! That’s it (and a little vegetable stock)! Butternut squash, sweet potatoes, parsnips and carrots are roasted to golden perfection and then blended together {In the Vitamix of course} to make a creamy dreamy soup you won’t be able to stop eating!

The inspiration for this recipe came from a friend and mentor who has meant so much to me over the years! When I was newly married {and then after I had my first child} she took me under her wing and welcomed me into her life. She taught me how to cook some of her favorite dishes while sharing her wisdom and heart with my young(er) self.

I am forever grateful for her influence in my life, the love she has shown me and my family over the years, and her legacy of this delicious soup! 🙂

Roasted Root Vegetable Soup is Paleo, Vegan & Gluten-free!

Any who…back to this recipe! Since it’s made with only veggies…this Roasted Vegetable Soup is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, AND paleo…which means literally anyone from any walk of life could grab a spoon and dive on in!

How to Make Root Vegetable Soup:

This root vegetable soup is SO easy to make!

  1. Roast the veggies. Simply toss the vegetables in the oven drizzled with a little olive oil and your’e good to go! One helpful tip is to keep the vegetables separated on the pan. Different veggies roast at different speeds (e.g. carrots roast faster than sweet potatoes), so you will want to be able to remove some from the oven before others.
  2. Use a Vitamix! Add vegetable broth and then the veggies to your vitamix and blend until the mixture becomes warm and steams.
  3. Stovetop option. You can also add the broth and roasted root vegetables to a pot on the stovetop and blend with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth. Then warm it on the oven.

Roasted Root Vegetable Soup: Ingredients/Substitutions 

You can find all the ingredients to make this Roasted Vegetable Soup at your local farmer’s market! October is my favorite month of the year to visit the farmer’s market! The rich, beautiful fall produce becomes readily available and I just can’t help myself! Apples, squash, carrots, beets, and the list goes on and on! We visit our city’s market most Saturday mornings and stock up on our favorite fresh veggies from some amazing local farms!

So, I implore you to head to your local market this weekend, bring home a bounty of delicious produce, and get cooking! 😉 Here are a few notes on the ingredients used in this Roasted Root Vegetable Soup:

  • Vegetable Stock. Chicken stock can be substituted for vegetable stock, but keep in mind then this recipe will no longer be vegan/vegetarian!
  • Carrots & Parsnips. I absolute adore the flavor that both of these sweet root vegetables add to this healthy vegetable soup. If you can’t find parsnips, you can substitute equal amounts of carrots for them! However, I think the parsnips really make this Roasted Root Vegetable Soup special!
  • Sweet potato/butternut squash. These vegetables can also be substituted for each other (e.g. if you can’t find butternut squash, simply replace it with more sweet potato, and vice versa).
  • Other vegetables. Pumpkin, beet, purple sweet potato, etc. etc. are also great veggies to roast and toss in this soup!

      Hey Emily! Thank you so much! I hope you check out the other ladies’ recipes! 🙂 We have had a wonderful day so far. Now time for naps and more fun later…letting the kiddos pick where we go to dinner…so I’m guessing Chic-Fil-A (which is always ok with me)! 😉 I will definitely have to share more about her…I am so grateful for the older women God has put in my life over the years to help and guide me…because I seriously have no idea what I’m doing and need all the help I can get! LOL! 😉

    Happy birthday, Laura! I hope you are having a wonderful day (yay to no dishes!). I love hearing about your mentor – there’s nothing better than that person who takes you under their culinary wing — for me, it was my aunt, Leah. I think I will give her a call today 🙂

      Thank you Liren! Yes! My husband is so good to me…I’m one blessed lady! 😉 I totally agree! I love sharing life both in and out of the kitchen with sweet friends and mentors….I learned so much from Lois! Your Aunt Leah most definitely taught you well! <3

      Thank you so much Letty! I totally agree…soup is such a wonderful warm comfort food! However my kids don’t love it! I made chicken noodle soup a few days ago and they realllllly didn’t want to eat it! My husband told them there are many foods they can choose not to love, but chicken noodle soup can not be one of them! LOL! 😉 Hopefully as I keep feeding it to them they learn to love soup!

      Thank you Kristy! Some of my favorite times were spent learning from Lois, and the other women, in this mentorship study I was in! 7 older ladies and 7 younger ladies doing life together…it was truly a special time in my life!

    This soup looks so thick and satisfying! I’ve been soaking up the amazing fall produce. Pumpkin in EVERYTHING, of course 😉 . I’m also super excited about delicata, butternut, and spaghetti squash being in season so I’ve been eating them up. I’ve gotta try roasting them and throwing them into the blender to make soup like this. It sounds so easy and delicious
