Creamy Roasted Vegetable Soup
When I'm menu planning, I plan for leftovers. I make a little extra sometimes to make sure I have enough for another meal, but I hate eating the same thing two nights a week. This Creamy Roasted Vegetable Soup uses leftover roasted fall vegetables from dinner earlier in the week and it's perfect as it's own meal or a side dish with a grilled cheese sandwich.
I love making up a big batch of soup, putting on my comfy clothes, and curling up by a warm fire on a cold winter's day. We don't get many of those here in AZ, but when we get a cold front the first thing I do is make a huge pot of soup. I love that my kids and hubby are soup lovers too. Soups are so easy to make and are a perfect way to use up leftovers or that produce that is in the bottom of the fridge that is a little past it's peak.
I just love this flavor combination of fall vegetables, but feel free to experiment with other fall veggies especially other root vegetables or squash. I bet butternut squash would be an amazing addition to this soup.
