This Roasted Root Vegetable Soup recipe is one of our favorites. Soup is always popular in our house, and root veggies are around all year long.
We like to eat vegan once or twice a week just because it's more nutritious. Try this Italian bean soup or one of the Daniel Fast soup recipes on this list.
I think you'll also like these black bean burgers or one of these Daniel Fast recipes. See how delicious healthy eating can be!
What's really fabulous about this recipe is the method of preparation. All the ingredients in this root vegetable soup recipe are roasted together on a baking sheet.
You can use whatever veggies you'd like using this same method. Roasting veggies brings our such great flavor - check out this butternut squash risotto and see for yourself.
I can think of so many different varieties of this soup, and as long as you are only adding veggies, herbs, and spices, your soup will be perfect for the Daniel Fast.
The largest chunk of your time will be chopping the vegetables, but once you taste the smooth creaminess of the roasted flavors, you'll be glad you made this roasted root vegetable soup recipe.
What you Need to Make Roasted Vegetable Soup
This soup is so delicious, and once the chopping is done, the rest of the preparation is a breeze. You will need parsnips, carrots, red and yellow peppers, celery, sweet potatoes, a russet potato, grape tomatoes, an onion, garlic, parsley (optional), olive oil, vegetable broth, and salt and pepper.
How to Make this Soup
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Wash all vegetables. Peel potato, sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onion, and garlic.
On a foil-lined baking sheet, use your hands to toss all vegetables with olive oil and salt & pepper. You will already smell the deliciousness of these vegetables together! This means all the ingredients except the parsley will be on this baking sheet.
Push garlic to the side so you remember to add it to the batch that will be blended later.
Roast about an hour - or until all veggies are soft. Remove from oven and let cool. Transfer half of the vegetables to a soup pot.
Add 2 cups of broth. Using a hand mixer on slow speed, blend the vegetables for about 1 minute. Add the rest of the broth and vegetables, simmering on low heat to warm through.
Serve immediately with a bowl of chopped parsley on the side for those who like it. I love it!
What Other Vegetables Could I Use in this Soup?
Any type of squash would be good in this recipe, like acorn, butternut, or pumpkin.
I think a couple of beets tossed in the mix would be fantastic.
Fennel would also be a wonderful addition.
Racquel, one of our readers on Pinterest, said she loved the recipe and added oregano and thyme. I can't wait to try that combination!
Let me know if you come up with other additions that work well. There are so many herbs and spices that would compliment this soup.
How Long Does This Soup Last?
There really isn't anything in this soup other than veggies and olive oil, so you could eat this meal five days later. Keep the soup in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to five days. This would never last 5 days in my house as it makes a perfect Daniel Fast lunch as well.
If you're making a really big batch, plan to freeze any soup you won't eat for up to 6 months.

I made this today for our Daniel fast meal. It tastes great. Made so much. I bowled up in containers and placed in the freezer for later. I love the flavors after the vegetables were roasted.
Kelly Stilwell
Thanks for letting me know, Lisa! You made my day! We love it, too, and always hope for leftovers!

How many bowls of soup does this recipe make?
Brooke
The soup is delicious! We made a couple tweaks: I broiled the veggies a bit to get a deeper carmelization on the veggies, and we added additional garlic, salt, and bay leaves to emphasize the savory notes in the stew. Thanks for sharing this tasty recipe.
Kelly
Yum, Brooke! Sounds yummy! Thanks for visiting and sharing!
Karen N.
That looks so good. Thanks I will make it this weekend. 🙂

When I started the fast, this is day eighteen for me, the roasted vegetable soup was the first recipe I tried making. When I made this I used the immersion blender for all the vegetables, and this made it boring. I ended up freezing a few leftover bowls and it was indeed tasty, but I could have used more planning when I started my fast.
Kelly Stilwell
I'm sorry you thought the soup was boring! I leave some of the veggies chunky and it's one of our favorite soups. Let me know which recipes you found that you liked.
