2
Add the brown sugar, curry nutmeg, allspice, ginger, cardamon and cinnamon.
3
Place them all in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 30 mins, or until tender.

In the meantime, heat the chicken stock and when the vegetable medley is done, place them in the blender and puree to your desired consistency (I like my on the thicker side).
5
Then add the pureed vegetable mixture to the simmering chicken stock.

Cook together for about 30 mins and then taste for any seasoning additions.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
