- Add potatoes, squash, thyme, sage, salt, water or stock, and almond milk; stir to combine.
- Place cover on roaster. When Vapo-Valve™ clicks, reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes.
- Add cannellini beans and nutmeg, replace cover, and cook for an additional 20 minutes or until vegetables are very soft.
- Remove 2 cups, 20%, of soup from roaster and blend until smooth, add back to roaster and stir to combine. Alternately, use a stick or immersion style blender to blend some of the vegetables directly in roaster.
- Add chopped parsley right before serving, taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
Tips:
- Substitute garnet yams or sweet potato for winter squash.
- When using stock in this recipe in place of water, adjust salt accordingly as each brand differs in sodium content.
- Add chopped, cooked, crispy turkey bacon to soup portions for a non-vegetarian option or let diners add it themselves.
- Use pre-peeled and diced winter squash, available in many markets in refrigerator section to save time.
- Generally a kid-friendly recipe.
