ROOT VEGGIE BISQUE

Steps:

• Pierce the rutabaga, turnip, sweet potato, parsnips, and beet with a fork. Place all vegetables in a large, microwaveable bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 10-12 minutes, or until each of the veggies are soft to the touch.
• Cut peels off of each of the veggies; discard. Place half of peeled vegetables in a large blender with half of vegetable broth and cream. Blend until smooth and completely pureed. Pour mixture into medium saucepan. Repeat with remaining vegetables, broth and cream.
• Heat over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until steaming and hot. Serve topped with sour cream and bacon bits.

ROASTED VEGETABLE BISQUE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare your veggies for roasting: - Wash all veggies and dry them with paper towel. - Don't need to chop up the baby carrots. - Chop / slice the rest in sizes as equal as possible. (i.e. I like to cut the eggplant into disks, and then quarter those disks, and use that shape/size as the general shape that I will cut other veggies as).
• 2. Preheat oven to 450*. Put veggies in mixing bowl and add enough olive oil while mixing them, to coat them thoroughly.
• 3. Arrange veggies on pan in single layer. (I usually end up using two pans).
• 4. After 30 minutes, take out pans, flip veggies over / mix around, and put back in oven; roast 25 more minutes.
• 5. Pull pan out; veggies should be soft, maybe falling apart, and some may have darkened skin; this skin is great because it gives that roasted flavor. If your veggies don't have dark marks and are not soft, give them another 7-10 minutes in the oven.
• 6. When done roasting, move veggies from pan to a big pot. Pour in broth and water.
• 7. Smash and peel garlic with knife. Add to pot. Also add the rest of the spices, except for the parsley and the optional saffron.
• 8. Bring to slow boil, then turn off heat, take off burner, and let cool for about 10 minutes.
• 9. Ladle soup into blender; don't do it all at once or it will explode on you. I like to blend about 2-3 ladles at a time.
• 10. Pour from blender into a bowl, and repeat process until all of soup has been blended. Transfer soup from bowl back into the pot.
• 11. Add cream. Turn on heat and simmer the soup for about 7 minutes, stirring every now and then. Taste it and add more salt / pepper, if needed.
• 12. Ladle soup into bowls. Top off each bowl with some chopped parsley and pinch of the saffron (optional!). I love this soup so much I treat it as its own meal and eat it slow to savor it; I don't eat it with a sandwich or salad or anything else. Hope you enjoy :)
