My girlfriend is a bit under the weather and wanted some vegetable soup. Not exactly my thing but I figure we can make it tasty. Got some veggies from the farmer's market to roast (in the oven)
Cippolini onions, shallots, zucchini, another similar squash, kale, cherry tomatoes, garlic, carrots, fennel.
Also did a very plain (salt and pepper only, no wood smoke - to make sure she could hold it down) chicken on the grill to add to the soup later.
Wood smoke does a TON for the color. It looks a little bland but had crispy skin and was really juicy.
Puréed the tomatoes, onion, roasted garlic, and shallots with an immersion blender, then added chicken broth, all the veggies, some Italian seasonings, and let it simmer for half an hour.
Turned out very much like a minestrone. The puréed stuff added a great texture to the liquid. Thing is, I forgot the fully assembled soup pic. I made enough for lunch tomorrow so I'll grab a pic of it before I chow down
