There’s nothing nicer than a Sunday roast (veggie or not) with the family and time well spent together. And what cannot be replaced in a Sunday roast? The roasted vegetables. Well, in my view anyway. Potatoes, carrots , parsnips… But have you ever ended up with too much roasted veg after a Sunday lunch? It can be easy to go ever the top with the trimmings and end up with too much food. So this super simple roasted vegetable soup with leftovers is one way to use them. I especially love this recipe for turning the leftover into a soup which makes a light meal on the next day but still nothing gets wasted. And it’s a soup. And I looooove soups! They are just the best thing in autumn and winter.

The beauty of this soup is (apart from being simple to make and it’s utterly delicious) that you can follow the recipe quite loosely. By that I mean, you can naturally use any sort of roasted veg (except potatoes maybe) that’s leftover and it doesn’t need to be the exact amounts I quoted in the recipe either. Plus you can add a lot of things what you have home, not just sweet potatoes and peppers but also some celeriac, pumpkin or squash.

The key in this recipe that every vegetable is roasted, even the onions. The large amount of garlic used should’t scare you either – they taste different when roasted and mixed in the soup. You really need a lot of roasted garlic (at least a whole bulb) for this soup. Roasted garlic is so healthy too.

Seasoning-wise I strongly recommend some chilli oil mixed in or garnish once the soup is ready. Together with the roasted garlic and red onion, it gives a lovely warm note to the soup.

I keeps at least 5 days in the fridge and you can also freeze it.

Enjoy!
