We’ve had perfect soup weather in YYC lately, wouldn’t you agree? Since I’m still obsessed with oil-free roasting, today I’m bringing you another roasted oil-free soup. Featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients that you probably already have in your fridge, this Carrot/Apple/Ginger soup is great to make all winter long.
This recipe is loaded with flavour, proving once again that oil-free does not have to mean taste free. Spiced with turmeric, curry powder, garlic, and swirled with a tangy cashew cream, this soup is also very simple to prepare. Just chop and let your oven do most of the work, filling your house with delicious smells as it roasts the veggies and warms your house.
I really like to swirl the cashew cream in at the end, because it makes for gorgeous [Instagram] photos and makes it look like you spent way more time putting the soup together than you actually did. Simple to prepare and really delicious, this Carrot/Apple/Ginger Soup is wonderful on chilly, lazy days. Happy Roasting! 🙂
