The BEST soup I've ever made.... EVER.

Okay. So this soup is no joke... It is by far the best soup I've made since I started cooking, and it's so good I just had to blog about it! I can only assume it's super healthy, plus it's really easy to make. Not to mention the color is absolutely gorgeous!

When I cook, I like to make things up as I go along and rely on taste, so I will do my best to translate it in recipe form. So, without further ado... Here's the recipe!


Ingredients

  • 3 beets, peeled and quartered
  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 russet potato, peeled and quartered
  • 2 large carrots, sliced
  • olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 carton of chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • water
  • kale
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • dried dill, to taste and garnish
  • sour cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Peel and slice beets, sweet potatoes, potato, and carrots. Place on baking sheet, drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt, then put in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes.
  3. While vegetables are roasting, in a large pot, sauté onions with olive oil, salt and pepper over high heat until translucent. 
  4. Reduce heat on stove to medium. Add roasted veggies in the pot with the carton of broth, followed by a couple cups of warm water. Add dill to taste.
  5. Allow veggies to boil until tender. An easy way to check to see if they're done is if you can easily stick a fork in them.
  6. Using an immersion blender (or regular blender), puree until smooth. Slice kale and add to pureed soup. Stir in some more dill, and simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Serve with a dollop of sour cream (optional) and garnish with more dill. Enjoy!
