Chef Meg's Roasted Vegetable Soup

- 23.8g Carbs, 6.9g Fiber, 7g Sugar

From: SparkPeople user CHEF_MEG
This is such a hearty savory soup--and it's vegan! The color alone should win you over. By roasting the vegetables you get a sweet smoky smell and taste.

INGREDIENTS
2 carrots, chopped
2 parsnips, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and chopped
3 garlic cloves
2 tsp canola oil
2 sprigs fresh thyme
4 oz no salt added tomato sauce
32 oz no salt added vegetable stock
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 cups kale, shredded
1/4 cup chopped parsley
3/4 cup nutritional yeast

DIRECTIONS
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Spread vegetables in a single layer on a sheet pan drizzle on the oil and mix with your hands to evenly distribute the oil.
• Scatter the thyme over the vegetables.
• Roast for 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes.

• Pour the tomato sauce over the vegetables and roast another 15 minutes, just until the sauce is bubbly or the vegetables have turned slightly golden brown.
• Remove thyme stems.

• Use a spatula to transfer the vegetables and tomato sauce into a large saucepan, then slowly add the stock.
• Season with pepper and simmer for 10 minutes, then stir in the nutritional yeast. Puree with an immersion blender, then add the kale and simmer 2-3 minutes, until the kale has wilted.
• Add the parsley, stir to combine, and remove from heat.
Serve warm.
