Instructions
Prep
- Rotor slicer/shredder
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
- 2 large rimmed baking sheets
- Attach the slicer/shredder, with the thick slicer, to the mixer. Set to Speed 4 and slice carrots, parsnips, zucchini and fennel into a large bowl. Add onions, celery, squash, oil, basil, oregano, salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat vegetables with oil and seasonings.
- Divide vegetables between baking sheets and roast in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
- In a large saucepan, bring roasted vegetables, stock and tomatoes with juice to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
- Remove the thick slicer from the slicer/shredder and attach the coarse shredder. Set to Speed 4 and grate Parmesan cheese into a bowl. Add cheese, parsley, vinegar and cayenne (if using) to the soup. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired with salt and pepper.
- Ladle into bowls and serve hot, with additional Parmesan cheese to sprinkle over individual servings, if desired.
Can be prepared through Step 3 up to 2 days ahead. Let cool, cover and refrigerate. Bring to a simmer over medium heat before serving.
