Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the vegetables

Place the chopped parsnips and quartered onions on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat evenly.

Pro tip: Ensure vegetables are in a single layer for even roasting.

Roast vegetables

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the parsnips and onions are tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through.

Pro tip: Watch for a deep caramelization for maximum flavour.

Simmer the soup

Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large pot. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes.

Pro tip: Scrape in any browned bits from the roasting pan for added flavour.

Blend the soup

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.

Pro tip: Be cautious when blending hot liquids.

Season and serve

Stir in salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, add heavy cream for a richer texture. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
