Homegrown Vegetable Soup<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This year I attempted to grow my own veggies in our garden. We had great success with peppers, different varieties of tomatoes and herbs, but not so great success with greens. We just couldn't keep the caterpillars and insects under control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said it was a great learning curve and confirmed what vegetables I definitely want to grow again next year and which were not really worth our while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily I live in an area in Ontario, where flat farmland is common, so we get plenty of vegetable stands out in the county where I can purchase in-season vegetables for much cheaper than at the grocery store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roasted Tomato, Bell Pepper and Butternut Squash Soup<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The soup was to use up the last of my veggies before the frost set in and was so tasty, simple and delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had various bell peppers (green and red), different varieties of tomatoes (roma, beefsteak, candyland, I even used up some unripe green tomatoes, nothing was going to waste) and then for a bit more flavour I add in some fresh herbs, garlic, onion and a some butternut squash I had left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's actually a soup that you can easily vary up by what vegetables you have on a hand and a great way to use up veggies lurking in the veggie drawer\/pantry before a grocery shop to make room for the fresh vegetables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make Easy Roasted Vegetable Soup<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It really was just as simple as throwing all the veggies with the herbs on a baking tray and drizzling with some olive oil and seasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then once roasted, I added to a big saucepan on the stove add some stock and roughly blended with my immersion stick blender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No fancy expensive gadgets needed here. I like my soup quite rustic and with chunks of vegetables, so I really did just roughly blend, but if you prefer a smooth soup, then, by all means, blend to your desired consistency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This soup is amazing just as it is, as for a more filling bowl of food. I like to top with some protein of choice, like some of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
