Sheet Pan Soups

[LJ1999]

O.K. so I saw various videos of people roasting butternut squash with all kind of different vegetables and then blending them to make soup.

Yesterday I roasted squash, red bell pepper, garlic and tomatoes. Turned out really good. I think I could even add Sage Sausage to the base to make a hearty stew.

Anyone have any other combos? I'm thinking it would be a good way to make a roasted potato soup as well.

Would you say this was better than just tossing them in a slow cooker?

I really, really like roasted vegetables and think roasting brings out a better flavor, however, I don't know for sure. I've never just dumped a bunch of veggies in the slow cooker......

One of the other things I liked with the roasting is that you don't really have to chop or cut a lot of stuff.

That would be ideal for stew. Roasting veggies really jacks up their flavor.

This is how I make Tomato Soup. Bunch of tomatoes, garlic, onion, herbs, etc. roasted in a tray and then I toss them in a dutch oven and use my immersion blender.

I prefer the profile roasting gives the veggies, as opposed to a crockpot or boiling. Actually, I avoid all veggies in the crockpot. Even when I make a roast in the crockpot, the carrots and potatoes get roasted in the oven, or I make mashed potatoes. Crock pot just makes it all too mushy and flavorless to me.

I'm going to try to do my pasta sauce this way too.

That doesn't sound like a good soup.

This how I've canned tomatoes for the last few years. Cut the tops off the roma tomatoes and roast at 400º. after they've cooled off you just squeeze them to remove the skins, plop them in the jars with a tsp of lemon juice and into the waterbath.

Well, no it doesn't. But I do like them roasted.
