Happy Tuesday, Soupers! Geez, it’s cold in Lausanne! As the beginnings of winter winds begin to blow, warm up with this creamy vegan parsnip, butternut squash, carrot and sweet potato soup with ginger, spices, and coconut butter and milk!

Instructions
Roasted Carrots, Sweet Potato, Parsnip and Tomatoes:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place all ingredients on foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil and honey on on all ingredients . Sprinkle on rosemary, ground cumin.
- Roast all ingredients for 25-35 minutes, until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Scoop up contents and place in a separate dish.
Prepare Soup:
- Heat 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil in large soup pot over medium-low heat. Add onions, shallots, garlic and sweat until translucent and soft.
- Pour in 1-2 cups vegetable stock. Add sweated vegetables, thyme, paprika, carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips and tomatoes. Add just enough stock to cover the surface of the contents of the soup (you can always add more stock later to thin down, if necessary!)
- Season with ground cayenne, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, ginger, apple-cider vinegar, salt & pepper.
- Bring soup to a low simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender or stand blender and add avocado (optional), coconut butter and milk, blend soup until smooth—you may need to do this in two batches depending on your size blender. Place soup back in pot and reheat to serve. Season and add a final splash of lemon.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
