Really quite good and fast to make. I had a little kitchen disaster but it still worked out. I made only half the recipe, and put parchment paper in my baking tray because I could not find the foil. But I did not trim it quite enough - not a problem in the oven but a problem in the countertop - yes, putting out flames and hoping the smoke alarm does not go off I had to rinse the veggies but I think I had a little extra "fiber" in the soup. Anyway, I buzzed both before and after adding the cream cheese, made it incorporate better. Half the recipe was two generous servings for us.

I think this could be an outstanding soup worthy of 5 stars. Unfortunately, for me, I used a JUMBO head of garlic! Now, I am really a garlic lover, but I should not have done that! I am definitely going to re-make this again. I roasted the veg approximately 50 min @ 400*. Next time, I will roast the garlic separately (just a personal preference so I can monitior the strength of my garlic), The texture and taste was very pleasing. I served it with ciabatta croutons in the bottom of my soup bowl-very good. Any taste descrepancies were my fault. This soup is worth trying! Made for Everyday is a Holiday Tag, Nov '09.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
