Now that it’s September, all I can seem to think about is warm soup! Experimenting with some flavors, I came up with an amazing Root Vegetable Soup!!
This warm deliciousness is made from a coconut milk, orange juice and veggie based broth. The coconut cream gives the soup a nice creaminess to it, the orange juice gives it a refreshing burst of flavor and the veggie broth gives it the savoriness that every soup needs!
The roasted beets, Easter egg radishes, rainbow carrots and celery are such a satisfying mix of veggies. They’re super hearty and the flavors go so well with the sweet and savory broth!
Even though the soup is already sooo flavorful on it’s own, I couldn’t help but throw some tarragon and thyme in there. It really ties everything together!
