Roasting potatoes, squash, onion and cauliflower in the oven caramelizes the vegetables and brings out their natural sweetness in this soup recipe. This meat-free dish is a delicious meal for cool winter nights, or served as a first course for a fall dinner party or even for Thanksgiving dinner. Making a roux before simmering the vegetables gives depth, and pureeing the soup with milk instead of heavy cream adds creaminess without the additional calories. Use an immersion blender placed directly in the pot instead of a regular blender to save having to puree the soup in batches.

Mealthy Tip

For a dairy-free version, make a few substitutions: swap the butter for olive oil, use unsweetened almond milk in place of the milk and omit the Parmesan cheese. As an alternative, purée the cooked soup with 1/2 cup silken tofu for added creaminess without adding dairy.

Jen the Mighty says:

This is a good vegetable soup, but I think I could add some leeks and mushrooms and feel even more satisfied with it. As it is, very solid with good flavor.

Laura Griffin says:

I've always loved vegetable soup, but this creamy version with roasted vegetables gives me life! I love the flavors that come out when the vegetables are roasted. This soup is really easy to make, and it's so delicious!
