Let's say you wanna be ULTRA lazy .... could you buy those jarred roasted red peppers to sub in for the roasting step entirely? Or is that sacrilege?

I'm so into this. Roasted red peppers plus cannelini beans plus some stock and all of these seasonings.... could be excellent.

I’m reading this on a rainy British Saturday and intending to do exactly that… and to switch the squash for the sweet potato I have in the cupboard… and to make the whole thing in my Soup Maker (a marvellous gadget). Essentially I’m just using this as inspiration!

This was excellent! And I even burnt the veggies a bit getting sidetracked by the second half of the UNC-NC State game and it turned out amazing. Added in the half can of cannellini beans as well.

Holy cow - this soup is amazing. I stood over the sink eating it straight out of the blender. Used carrots instead of butternut squash and lactose free Greek yogurt at the end. SO good!

If I were to use full fat coconut milk instead of sour cream for df would that be ok?

Expand full comment

Yes it'll be delightful. Taste it after blending and it if feels a little flat, it's bc you're missing the acid from the sour cream. Add a squeeze of lemon, lime, or a splash of any clear vinegar.

Wow this one is amazing!!! I added cannellini beans and some coconut milk before blending. The croutons were a simple but delicious add on. I will double this next time!

Coming back to say I made a lazy version of this in my soup maker, with a can of tomatoes added and with a sweet potato instead of squash, as well as the jarred pre roasted red peppers and garlic purée. Absolutely delicious, thanks for the prompt!

What kind of soup maker do you have? I’m not aware of that particular kitchen gadget!

I've been meaning to ask this too!! are you European, lily?? is it one of those thermomix things??

Expand full comment

Much cheaper than a thermomix! I’m in the UK.

Simply excellent. Roasted the veggies the night before, then made the soup the next day and ate it cold right from the blender. I couldn't be stopped!

DELISH!! my soup-hating husband loved. used the whole garlic head and feeling 0 regrets

Expand full comment

If we love garlic would it be bad to put the entire thing in the soup?

Expand full comment

no it'll be delish

Expand full comment

(I just wrote it this way because for non-garlic lovers, it was a little much, but for us garlic lovers, it's delish with the whole thing)

I bet red lentils would be great in this too!

Expand full comment

definitely!!!!

Expand full comment

if we were to add lentils, what would be the best way to do so??

Expand full comment

If you're going to add lentils, you'll have to cook them first so I would perhaps change the soup from a roasted soup to a one pot soup and just add like 6 cups of stock and all of the veggies plus one cup of red lentils bring it to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer for 20 to 30 minutes until everything is tender and then use an immersion blender to blend it all up

thank you so much!

Loved this! Doubled and added a can of strained cannelini beans -- delicious! Made with the ham and fig grilled cheese baking method (but just plain cheese).

How do you store roasted garlic?

Expand full comment

i always just keep it in a ziploc or aluminum foil in the fridge for about 5 days!

Expand full comment

Do you take it out of the skin or leave it in?

Expand full comment

This is a real first for me! 😆 fresh garlic usually upsets my stomach so i normally use the pre-minced kind.

Expand full comment

Squeeze the garlic out of its skin!

Yum yum! Lovely little soup hug 🥣I’m not used to one of your soups not feeding me for 45 days so I would triple this next time.

Expand full comment

I know hahah it felt right for it to all fit on a sheet-pan but it felt wrong not to fill my freezer with soup

Eating this for lunch right now and it is SO DAMN GOOD! The paprika flavor is awesome and makes me feel like I’m in a fancy Spanish restaurant! Thanks.
