Ingredients
  

  • 4 carrots peeled and cut into pieces
  • 2 large zucchini cut into pieces
  • 1 large yellow squash cut into pieces
  • 2 large tomatoes quartered
  • 2 large Russet or other all-purpose potatoes about 1 pound total weight, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 4 cups of vegetable broth
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • 3 TBSP finely chopped basil
  • 1 TBSP fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/4 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes coarsely chopped
  • 1 TBSP pine nuts
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • In a large baking dish, combine the carrots, zucchini, squash, tomatoes and potatoes.
  • Pour 1/2 cup of the vegetable stock and drizzle 1 TBSP of oil over the veggies. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
  • Roast until the veggies are tender (around 40 minutes), turning every now and then to evenly bake.
  • While the veggies are cooking, combine the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, rest of the olive oil (1 TBSP), 1 TBSP of basil, pine nuts, and a touch of salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until a thick paste forms. Set pesto aside.
  • Once the veggies are done, remove from the oven, and in batches, combine them with 1/2 cup of the stock in a blender and puree until smooth.
  • Transfer to a large saucepan over low heat, and stir in the remaining stock, basil and lemon juice.
  • Mix all ingredients together well, and cook for around 5 minutes. If needed, season with salt and pepper.
  • Distribute the soup into 4 bowls, and add 1 TBSP of the pesto to each bowl.
