Is it cooler where you are already? It’s supposed to be a rainy weekend here for us. The evenings are fairly cooler these days too. The old feeling in the throat from the change of weather is getting the kids edgy so I started making my spiced ginger tea this week. We love the warmth that drink brings during this cooler weather.

And of course, now it’s that time of the year when soup always is a treat. The kids are already talking about going to our winter default menu of soup, salad, and bread. Works great this time of the year.

One of my favorite things about veggie soup is when I can roast the veggies. The flavor added to the veggies when you caramelize them is different than just chopping them and adding them to the soup. If you have not tried it you must – It does take a little longer to make the soup but the flavor added is huge.

Roast veggies ahead of time.

To make my life a little simpler? I often roast veggies ahead of time. For example, I would roast a batch of sweet potatoes, butternut squash, potatoes, carrots all together on one day and save them in the fridge. Then during the week I just use the veggie I need to make my soup. That way soup is a 2o minute job in the evening.
