Vegetarian Pea Soup With Roasted Vegetables

Submitted by Ann Lesley

"My son got interested in table food sooner than I expected and wouldn't let anyone else feed him, so I ended up with a bunch of pea puree in the freezer. I didn't want it to go to waste, so I decided to try it in a soup and it turned out delicious! The amounts are approximate, and you could probably roast whatever vegetables you want. I just used what I had on hand."
