Peel and slice the veggies about 1/2 inch thick. Toss with a tiny bit of olive oil. Place on a foil covered baking sheet in a single layer. Roast at high temp 400-500 degrees for about 15-25 minutes or until a hint of brown appears.
Remove from oven and place in stock pot. Cover with water or chicken stock and simmer for about 30 minutes. Puree with a hand blender or carefully strain veggies, saving stock, and puree in the blender in small batches until smooth.
Return pureed veggies and stock to stock pot and add more water or chicken stock to bring it to a medium consistency and return to simmer. Add salt and pepper as necessary and finish with the butter, slowly dropped in by the chunk, to taste.
