LEEK POTATO CARROT SOUP WITH GINGER AND TURMERIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Peel and dice potatoes and carrots and cut leeks into rounds. Try to cut them roughly the same size so they can cook evenly.
• Place the vegetables on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil. Trim the top off the garlic cloves, drizzle with olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil.
• Mix the spices (turmeric, ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt and freshly ground pepper) in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the vegetables and rub it all over them.
• Roast until golden-brown and the vegetables can be easily pierced with a fork, about 30-35 minutes. Stir them 1-2 times during roasting.
• Let the vegetables cool a little bit then transfer them in a large pot (if using an immersion blender) or in a normal blender. Squeeze garlic cloves out of their papers. Add 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock and blend until smooth and creamy.
• Then add ½ cup stock at a time to thin it to your desired consistency.
• Taste for seasoning, pour it in a large pot and warm it up. Serve with fresh herbs, heavy cream and buttered bread slices.
