roasted carrot + sweet dumpling squash bisque {gf}

roasted carrot + sweet dumpling squash bisque {gf}
so you can be honest with me - have you tired of my soup posts?
i sure hope not! this time of year Justin and i literally enjoy soup at least 2-3 times a week.
soup is warm, satisfying, makes for great leftovers and tastes even better the next day.
what more could you want?
for pennies on the dollar, soup has a lot of goodness to offer.
plus, it's pretty hard to screw up soup or if you want to get all fancy and call it bisque like i do you can!
soup with its fancy pants on = bisque (but really the truth is its just a creamy soup)...wow i am pretty sure this creamy soup is having an identity crisis since it doesn't have cream in it either.

so simple is good right?
onion, sweet dumpling squash & carrots are roasted until tender and caramelized.
the roasted veggies are transferred to a soup pot where warm toasted spices such as cardamom, coriander and cumin are added along with a bay leaf and plain old water.
the soup is left to simmer for 20-30 minutes, then pureed silky smooth.

salt, sauteed apples & carrot fronds are a beautiful garnish - we also enjoyed pepitas sprinkled over the soup too. i love adding a bit of texture to soups by way of a fun garnish. if you have time, crispy carrot rounds with a sprinkle of carrot fronds or parsley would be beautiful too.

simple, inexpensive, humble ingredients are turned into a beautiful and healthy soup with minimal effort.
why don't you take just a few moments out of your day and create this nourishing soup for those you love.

can i tell you how in love i am with the black specks dotted throughout the golden soup - the second best thing about sweet dumpling squash aside from its taste is the fact their skin is edible, it is what creates the speckled effect throughout the soup.
if you have time, i strongly suggested making this one day and waiting to serve it the following day. when allowed to rest overnight the flavors of the bisque intensify and become even more wonderful.

  1. Yum! I use to really think I hated all carrot based things that weren't just me nibbling on carrots, but I have recently realized this is no longer true. I will have to add this to my list of dinner options.

  7. I love soups and I love the speckling! I recently made a roasted carrot soup too- reminded me how much I adore roasted carrots (and parsnips)- somehow, a good deal of them *vanished* before making it into my soup ;-)

  22. Hi there! This article could not be written much better! Looking through this article reminds me
    of my previous roommate! He continually kept preaching about this. I am going to send this article
    to him. Fairly certain he will have a great read. Thanks for sharing! Hello, I think your blog may be having
    browser compatibility issues. When I take a look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in
    I.E., it has some overlapping issues. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Besides that, great site!
    Spot on with this write-up, I really feel this amazing site needs a great deal more attention. I’ll probably be
    returning to read through more, thanks for the information! Aw, this was a really good post. Taking the
    time and actual effort to create a good article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and
    don't manage to get nearly anything done.
