Ingredients

Roasted Fall Vegetables

1 to 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon)

Coarse salt and ground pepper

Bread or crackers, for serving (optional)

Preparation

Working in batches, puree vegetables in blender with a total of 4 to 5 cups water. Pour each batch through a fine-mesh sieve into a large saucepan, pressing puree through with a spoon or rubber spatula.

Thin puree with additional water, if necessary; heat soup over medium. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve with bread or crackers, if desired.
