I know full well that I am not eating enough vegetables so I seized the chance today to remedy that as I had a colourful array of vegetables waiting to be eaten:
I chopped up some of each colour carrot, a few parsnips and the red onion and tossed them in olive oil with some of my flavoured salt:
These were then roasted at Gas Mark 7 (425 F/220 C) for 30 minutes and were tossed half way through cooking:
Meanwhile I had made it easier to peel the squash by microwaving it first using this method:
- chop off the ends of the squash
- prick all over with a fork
- microwave for 3.5 minutes
Then I tossed the squash in a the same mix before roasting for 40 minutes (again tossing half way through). I added the two lots of vegetables together:
and when sufficiently mixed I put them in a blender with some vegetable stock:
I kept on blitzing and adding stock until the soup was the thickness I desired:
I thoroughly enjoyed a large bowl of my soup with some bread and butter and even kept enough for lunch tomorrow!
