A flavorful and filling winter soup featuring roasted root vegetables
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Wash, peel, and trim vegetables then cut into large chunks of about equal size. Place them in a roasting pan, coat them lightly with oil and sprinkle with mixture of brown sugar and Splenda. Place roaster in the oven, uncovered, for about 15 minutes to allow vegetables to brown lightly.
At about 15 minutes, pour in about one cup of broth, cover the roaster with foil or a tight fitting lid. TURN THE OVEN DOWN TO 350F and bake until vegetables are very tender (about 1 1/2 hours).
When the vegetables are completely tender add the remaining chicken stock and Cajun Spice mix. Simmer for about 10 minutes on the stovetop.
Use a slotted spoon or strainer to scoop the vegetable chunks into a food processor (or small batches into a blender) and puree them. Add the puree back into the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and Cajun spice as desired.
Finally, add the half & half (or heavy cream), stir briefly and serve. Garnish each serving with a squiggle of cream or dollop of yogurt and sprinkle with a few chives or parsley leaves.
