This delicious Roasted Parsnip and Carrot Soup is packed with healthy nutrients and flavour! Parsnips, carrots, onion and an apple are roasted to make this creamy, cozy soup extra delicious! The soup is vegan and gluten-free too!
I love creamy soups and the soup I am sharing with you today is no exception. It is loaded with fresh, pureed veggies which gives it loads of flavour too!
The best part? It is super easy to make!
It takes less than an hour to make and most of that time is just letting it all roast in the oven and then simmer away on the stove.
While skipping the roasting would cut down on the time, this extra step is so worth it! You cannot beat the flavour of roasted veggies as they cook and their natural sugars caramelize in the process. SO GOOD!
Another reason you should make this soup asap? It is loaded with so many good-for-you ingredients that you are nourishing your body as the warm soup nourishes your soul!
