🛒 Ingredients
- Mixed green vegetables (e.g., kale, spinach, broccoli)
- Sweet potato (or sweet potatoes)
- Roasted tomatoes
- Vegetable broth or water
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
👩🍳 How to Make It
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and toss the green veg, sweet potato cubes, and halved tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper; roast 20‑25 minutes until tender.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a pot, add vegetable broth, and bring to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes.
- Blend the soup until smooth (use an immersion blender or countertop blender), then return to heat and adjust seasoning.
- If the soup is too thick, add a splash more broth or water and warm through.
- Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil or fresh herbs, and enjoy!
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Swirl a drizzle of extra‑virgin olive oil and sprinkle fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) over the soup, then serve with crusty sourdough or a warm whole‑grain roll.
- Pair the soup with a crisp mixed greens salad tossed in lemon‑tahini dressing for a light, balanced meal.
- Turn leftovers into a hearty sauce for pasta or grain bowls—just thin with a splash of broth and toss with cooked quinoa or rice.
💡 Chef's Tips & Variations
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of liquid aminos for an extra umami boost.
- Swap the sweet potato for roasted butternut squash or add a handful of cooked lentils for extra protein and texture.
- Blend in a spoonful of cashew cream or coconut yogurt at the end for a richer, creamier mouthfeel without dairy.
- For a seasonal twist, toss in roasted autumn vegetables like carrots or parsnips, or in spring, add fresh peas and mint for brightness.
