There are not many vegetables that don't get better with roasting in my opinion. Roasting the ingredients for this soup give it a depth of flavor, and make it insanely easy. You need some time for the roasting, but the active time is minutes.

Ingredients
- 3-4 sweet potatoes
- 2 large carrots
- 1 green apple
- 2 medium onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 T olive oil
- 1/2 t cumin
- 1 t curry powder
- 2 c chicken broth
- 1 c coconut milk
- 1 c water plus extra
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
-
Peel and chop the vegetables and apple into large pieces. I generally quarter the onions and use that as a guide for the size of the rest. Try not to separate the layers of the onions, or they will cook too quickly and scorch.
-
Peel the garlic cloves.
-
Toss the vegetables, apple, and garlic witih the olive oil, cumin, and curry powder.
-
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.
-
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the vegetables are soft through and with dark-brown edges. Stir them once halfway to ensure even cooking.
-
When the vegetables are almost ready to come out, heat the chicken broth, coconut milk, and water gently in a pan on the stove top.
-
Add the vegetables to the liquids and blend with an immersion blender until smooth. Add more water if desired for a thinner soup.
-
Serve directly, store for up to a week in a clean container in the refrigerator, or freeze for up to 2 months.
