Mamma Choppin away

  • 1 lb carrots, peeled
  • 1 lb parsnips, peeled
  • 1 large sweet potatoes, peeled
  • 1 small butternut squash, peeled and seeded(about 2 pounds)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley

    1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
    2. Cut the carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, and butternut squash in 1 to 1 1/4-inch cubes. All the vegetables will shrink while baking, so don't cut them too small.
    3. Place all the cut vegetables in a single layer on 2 baking sheets. Drizzle them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well.
    4. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender, turning once with a metal spatula.
    5. Sprinkle with parsley, season to taste, and serve hot.

After that I always had a soft spot for this soup, not only because it saved me from what could have been a delightful case of salmonella, but it was quite tasty. I still could not help but wonder what it was really supposed to taste like, because let's face it, the hospital cafeteria is not the best place to have a taste test. I decided to finally hunt down a recipe from John Villa. It's a versatile dish: Serve it as a one-course meal at lunch or as a light supper in the evening. What's crucial when preparing it is that the kale is cut into extremely fine slices; that's what creates the soup's distinctive...
