With most things, there is no one “right” way. You can approach a project or meal in a few different ways and end up with a great-looking project or a flavorful, satisfying meal. Soup, especially pureed soups, fall into this category.

Pureed soups, like the one above, can be approached a few different ways. You can, like most of my pureed soup recipes, cook everything in the stock pot, then transfer it to a blender and blend smooth. Or you could stick an immersion or stick blender (same thing, a few different names) into your pot and blend it up there, no transferring required. Or, you could roast your ingredients in the oven and blend them with stock in the oven, heating over the stove if the soup got cold or isn’t as hot as you’d like it.

All methods produce soup, it just depends on which one you want to try, and in my case, which one produces the fewest or easiest to wash dishes. Roasting your vegetables can also bring out more flavor in your vegetables than just cooking on the stove.

Next time when you’re making soup, try a different method, see if you like it. See what possibilities you can bring into your kitchen, trying something slightly different than before.
