This is a perfect winter vegetable soup with tasty smoked bacon and a drop of double cream. This is a really simple method for making soup and can be applied to any root vegetable soups you want to make. Roughly chop all of your ingredients and place them on a baking tray to roast in the oven. Once done all you need to do is blitz with some stock and your soup is made. No need for lots of chopping or pans, just get your soup in the oven and relax! Remember to think about the cooking times of each ingredient, so chop your hardest vegetables smallest so that everything cooks at the same time. Spice up your soup with some chilli flakes, cumin and coriander seeds.
