Ingredients
- 4 medium-large carrots, unpeeled, chopped into 3cm lengths
- ½ medium-sized bulb fresh fennel, feathery tops removed, chopped into 4cm pieces
- 1 small red onion, peeled and cut into quarters
- Fresh ginger, sliced 1cm thick
- 500ml salt-reduced vegetable stock
- 200ml water
- Spray olive oil
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.
- Place the prepared vegetables and the ginger in an oven proof dish and lightly spray with olive oil. Toss to coat all vegetables in the oil.
- Cook for 60 minutes, turning vegetables once.
- Reduce heat to 160 degrees and roast for a further 20-30 minutes. This will maximise the flavour of the vegetables.
- Remove vegetables from the oven and pour over the vegetable stock. Allow the vegetables to sit in the stock for a few minutes, before transferring the mixture to a blender.
- Blend until just combined, adding a little more water if you prefer a thinner soup.
- Transfer to a clean saucepan, cover, reheat and then serve.
