In my quest for colder weather foods, I decided to make roasted broccoli soup. Broccoli soup is one of my favorite dishes since I was a kid. This is a pretty straightforward recipe: roast/sweat vegetables, simmer in stock and buttermilk, and blend. I wish I had roasted my broccoli longer as the flavor wasn't that pronounced, but I was getting impatient.

The toasted pepitas were very good. I really like the combination of crunchy seeds with parsley and lemon zest.

Overall, I think this recipe is good, but can be improved. I think next time I will include some rosted cauliflower to round out the the flavor. And I'll add cheese because it makes everything better.
