Sweet potatoes are what I like, and they are much healthier than ordinary potatoes. Roasted Vegetables Cream Soup is perfect for autumn evenings because it warms you up perfectly and tastes great. The sweet taste of roasted sweet potatoes is combined with red onion and garlic to combine with warming ginger. All this is seasoned with creamy coconut milk.
How to choose the best ingredients for Roasted Vegetables Cream Soup
Sweet potato: apart from their taste, sweet potatoes have many valuable nutritional values that benefit the body, so they often host us at my table. But, of course, we always choose the best quality for your soups.
Butterscotch pumpkin: it is a very thankful and tasty vegetable from the pumpkin family. Therefore, it is perfect for various soups and cake toppings. It is more delicate in taste than regular pumpkin, smaller, and easier to work with.
Thyme and rosemary: I love the smell of thyme, and that is why I use it very often in the kitchen. It also fits perfectly with rosemary, and for this reason, it is also added in pairs. Most often, thyme and rosemary were added to the meat before. Still, to capture this aroma, you can add it differently to roast vegetables, as in this case.
Garlick: we add fresh garlic to the soup because it has an entirely different taste, and it will go well with the rest of the baked vegetables. Baked garlic has a similar taste to confit, so it replaces the taste of butter with coconut oil.
Ground coriander: the ground coriander has a sweet-spicy flavor and a delicate citrus aftertaste. So it will be perfect for this soup to enrich it even more.
Coconut milk: I always use coconut milk, but you can use the light version if you want.
Olive oil: the best olive oil to use is extra virgin. It is from the first pressing, i.e. it has the best quality composition. Besides, there are a few more guidelines on which to pay attention when buying olive oil. For more details, please visit my blog.
Tips and tricks for Roasted Vegetables Cream Soup
- If you have baked vegetables from other dishes, e.g. you used to make sweet potato fries before, you can use them in this soup.
