It Can’t Get Better Than Grandma’s Roasted Vegetable Soup

If Grandma makes it – it has to be good!

After all, she’s Grandma and if she say’s this recipe for roasted vegetable soup is a must try, then I believe her.

Every so often, a recipe captures my mother’s fancy and she sends it along with a note – “Kristi – you must try this!”

According to Grandma, “I always love to use my slow cooker, so I brought everything to a boil and transferred it to my slow cooker and cooked until all the vegetables were tender.  I like the mix of flavors.”

2 turnips, peeled and diced
1/2 pint Brussels sprouts, cut in quarters
3 quarts vegetable broth (I used organic)
1 cup canned plum tomatoes, chopped
1 carrot diced
1 cup butter beans
1 cup frozen corn
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup parsley leaves
1 clove garlic
2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Toss the vegetables in a generous amount of olive oil, season with salt and pepper and roast in the oven until done.  When they have roasted, remove and transfer to the hot vegetable broth and canned tomatoes.  Bring to a boil over high heat.  Lower the heat and let the soup simmer untill all of the vegetables are tender, approximately 30 minutes.
3. Add the parsley leaves, garlic, extra virgin olive oil and Parmesan cheese to a blender and puree till smooth.
4. Divide the soup among four to six bowls and serve with a drizzle of parsley pesto.
