In the dead of winter, this ultra-thick soup feels oh, so good in the tummy. Comfort food. Ingredients:
vegetable oil cooking spray |
1 pound fresh beets, peeled & chopped |
5 large carrots, peeled and sliced (3 cups) |
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced (11/2 cups) |
1 large onion, quartered (2 cups) |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
2 14-ounce cans chicken broth |
snipped fresh chives for garnish |
cayenne to add at the table |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the cooking spray.
3. Combine the beets, carrots, celery, and onion in the dish.
4. Spray vegetables with cooking oil and sprinkle with the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and pepper; toss.
5. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40-45 min, or until the beets and carrots are fork tender.
6. In a food processor or blender, purée the roasted vegetables with the just enough broth to keep it all moving (no more), in batches until thick and smooth.
7. Combine the batches in a heavy 2-quart kettle. Heat on medium-low until warmed through.
8. Garnish with the chives.
9. Serve with cayenne on the side.
10. OPTIONAL: Use 1 c buttermilk per bowl of soup for 1/2 CEAHOW protein serving. Makes for a creamier, yet tangy, soup.
11. FREEZING: May be frozen in single-serving ziplock bags.
12. CEAHOW Serving: 1 1/2 c of the finished soup = 1 c veggies and 1/2 c broth
