Ingredients List

• 2 cups cubed butternut squash
• 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 parsnips or turnips, peeled and chopped
• 1 sweet potato, diced
• 1 fennel bulb, sliced thin
• 1 large onion, quartered
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk or milk of choice
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the chopped root vegetables, fennel, onion, and garlic on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat evenly. Roast for 30-35 minutes until the edges are golden and caramelized.

Step 2: Prepare the Soup Base
In a large pot, warm a drizzle of olive oil. Transfer the roasted vegetables into the pot. Add a splash of vegetable broth and stir to loosen any browned bits from the tray—this builds flavor for your oven roasted soup base.

Step 3: Add Broth and Potatoes
Pour in the remaining vegetable broth. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender and easily mashable. This helps develop a rich, flavor-packed soup that’s both earthy and aromatic.

Step 4: Combine and Puree the Soup
Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture until smooth. For a chunkier texture, blend only half and leave some vegetable pieces intact. Adjust the consistency by adding a bit more broth or coconut milk if desired.

Step 5: Finish and Adjust Seasoning
Stir in lemon juice for brightness and check for seasoning. Add more salt or herbs if needed. For extra creaminess, mix in a splash of coconut milk or a dollop of yogurt.

Step 6: Serve and Garnish
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with chopped parsley or chives. Serve warm with crusty bread or a side of garlic butter mushrooms for an indulgent yet balanced meal.
