Once the flavors were well acquainted I took the mixture off the heat. Then I really got the relationship going with my immersion blender. I mashed up those veggies real good...until the soup became a nice creamy consistency. And then I cracked a bit more pepper on top...because I love pepper. Then...I took pictures! Ahhh...the life of a blogger...fresh photos and cold soup! And...it was OK. Yes...just OK. The night before when I roasted all of those veggies I also roasted some garlic cloves. Which is good...I like roasted garlic. But I don't like a LOT of it...and it was just too much for that amount of vegetables. So it was just OK. Edible. But next time? Less garlic...if any at all.

the soup.
This is the soup I made yesterday. I used leftover roasted vegetables...tossed them in a pot, added chicken broth and water, a little extra salt, a little bit of thyme...and simmered to let the flavors marry. (Sometimes I like to pretend I'm a Food Network star...)

I betcha I would have liked it. lol
I did the same this week...tried a new dish...sauteed every veggie I brought home from the farmers market (including baby garlic), then tossed in some egg (cross between an omelet and scrambled). It was pretty decent and filling. I enjoyed it but I'm not certain anyone else would have. lol
I looks great! I've made some soups like this with a single vegetable, but not several. Your idea to use left overs this way is ingenious! If it needs more zip next time, add a little grated parmesan cheese on top! (Seriously, can you have too much cheese?)
Looks yummy, nice work:-). It sounds like you have one, but I'll mention for your reader-friends that I'm giving away two hand blenders this week. Now we can all make yummy soups like Michelle:-).

Love anything garlic, this looks really good.

remember the scones i made earlier in the week - yeah, they were just okay too. actually, after we each had one - the rest went too the chickens : )
cold soup is no good!
Yes, please sound like a Food Network star...sounds delish!

That looks so nummy! I didn't think there was such a thing as too much garlic.
I made a soup almost just like this last week (!)...must be one of those cosmic waves coming through. (hehe).
