Roasted Vegetable Soup with Pumpkin and Cauliflower

This roasted vegetable soup is a comforting and nourishing bowl of goodness that’s full of flavour.  The pumpkin gives it a sweetness while the roasted garlic gives it a huge depth of flavour and extra savouriness.

A favourite for meal prepping

This soup is one of my favourites for meal prepping.  You can use up any combination of veggies in your fridge, especially those that may be past their prime.  Red peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, celery and cabbage would all work nicely in this soup.

I love to make a big pot and keep it in the fridge to eat again during the week.  You can serve this roasted vegetable soup as a main with some warm crusty bread.  Or serve it as a side with salads, sandwiches, noodles or pasta.
