Roasted Parsnip and Carrot Soup

I have been a very bad blogger recently , though I have been eating pretty well due to some excellent preperation of food from the freezer , meals  they tend not to look too appetising quickly reheated and chewed down at 9pm when I get home.

Working from home today though so lunch was hearty soup , I had roasted some carrots and parsnips earlier in the week . This is a fantastic way to use up leftover root vegetables
