I have a MAJOR thing for soup. Everyone talks about the winter months being "soup season," but let's be honest...soup is fantastic 365 days of the year, if you ask me.
Which, obviously, you did. Or something.
Regardless of your opinion on the seasonal appeal of soup, the fact that it's December means that everyone should be cozying up to a bowl of warm, liquid perfection. I recently found two recipes that blew me away, and I had to share them with you. Bonus - they're both from the same website (Vegangela), which I will now be obsessively stalking. Girl's got talent!
First up was the Roasted Butternut Squash Soup. Until last week, I hadn't found a good recipe for butternut squash soup (most are too sweet for me). This one balances the sweetness of the squash with some tropical ingredients and there is so. much. flavor. in every bite. B even loved it, and he hates every ingredient on an individual basis. Note: I left out the coriander and cilantro because I was out of both. I also didn't use a jalapeno because I was lazy.
I tried the Roasted Fresh Tomato Soup the very next day. I had bought a ton of tomatoes at the grocery store for some reason and needed to use them up, stat! I eat approximately 1 tomato a month, so I don't know why I felt compelled to buy a pack of 9. Brilliant. But, obviously, it worked out.
I once again omitted the fresh herbs for this recipe. I also think I added a hair too much salt :( Don't get me wrong, it was still delicious, but the roasted veggies should really be the stars of the show here.
Let me know if you try out either of these awesome recipes! I still have a small container of the tomato soup sitting in my freezer, I'm trying to save it until I can get some more tomatoes and restock.
Have a happy Friday!
