Ingredients
-
1 large red onion, peeled
-
8 ounces carrots, peeled
-
8 ounces sweet potatoes, peeled
-
8 ounces butternut squash, peeled and seeded
-
6 ounces tomatoes
-
1 head garlic
-
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
-
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
-
1 1/2 liters vegetable stock
-
fresh ground black pepper
-
2 -3 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt
-
8 ounces sweet red peppers, deseeded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150°C.
- Chop the peeled and deseeded butternut squash, sweet potato, sweet peppers, onion and carrot into nice big chunky pieces - 2inch diameter will be fine.
- Cut the tomatoes into similar sized chunks, and remove the seedy-jelly bit.
- Toss the vegetables with the olive oil until they're nicely coated and add the rosemary.
- Place in the oven for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours, adding the whole garlic bulb after the first hour. The veg should now be cooked, slightly caramelised and almost chewy, with a much more intense and mellow flavour.
- Remove the rosemary sprigs and place all veggies in a pan. Squeeze the garlic out of their papery husks into the pan too and add stock.
- If there is any gooey residue on the bottom of the roasting tin, pour a little of the stock into it and scrape it into the pan, as this is where the serious flavour is!
- Liquidize the soup in batches and reheat. Check seasoning and serve in big bowls with a swirl of greek yogurt on top.
