This was fantastic! And so easy - basically you spend most of the time off doing something else while veggies roast and simmer. The roasting makes the vegetables so richly flavorful that I almost didn't want to add the spices. I left out the cumin, but the other spices were really nice. My soup was pretty watery at the end so I took out about half the stock before blending, and didn't add the milk. It might be good topped with yogurt though. Thanks for sharing - I love soups, and this is a new favorite!

Amazing! I love roasted veggie soups and this one is fabulous. I left out the cinnamon, but only because I'm not a fan of cinnamon. Love the mix of root veggies - it adds depth to the mixture of flavors.
