Roasted Vegetable Soup | The Daniel Fast

January 5, 2015 by Kelly Stilwell 16 Comments

The Daniel Fast is all about staying focused, spiritually & physically. It's about discipline, purification, and turning a new corner toward living a healthier lifestyle.

This Roasted Vegetable Soup is full of nutritious root vegetables. Soup is a favorite food in our house, and you can get root veggies all year long. This is a perfect dinner and leftovers make a great lunch!

Don't let this fast just be about the food (or lack thereof) but let it be about taking care of what you're feeding your body, your mind, your soul.

Focus on things that lesson your stress level; things that feed your brain; things that nourish your soul. Remember that good habits equal good living.

For a filling breakfast try organic groats soaked in almond milk overnight - add a dash of cinnamon, chopped nuts and a sliced banana.

Lunch can be a quick salad of Garbanzo beans (chickpeas) tossed with fresh chopped parsley, roasted red peppers, chopped kalamata olives and salt & pepper. Quick and easy...

Anytime is a good time to make a big batch of roasted root vegetable soup. This soup is on the easy side to make, and won't take hours standing at the stove.

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 thankful.

You can keep this in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze up to 6 months, although I doubt it will last 6 months in anyone's freezer! If you're like me, you'll be finishing it up within the 5 days since it makes a perfect Daniel Fast lunch as well.

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.

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.

    I don't know why I didn't see this, Dianne. I did not peel the potatoes, but it's really a personal preference. Enjoy.

We just made this for dinner - it is so tasty! I'll probably double it next time because it is going quick.
Highly recommend, even when the fast is over!
