Ingredients
  

2 cups diced carrots

2 cups diced parsnips

2 cups diced sweet potatoes

1 medium onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh thyme leaves for garnish

Optional: A swirl of coconut cream for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic.

      Season the Veggies: Drizzle with olive oil, maple syrup, thyme, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated.

        Roast the Vegetables: Spread the veggie mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and caramelized, tossing halfway through for even roasting.

          Blend the Soup: Once roasted, transfer the veggies to a large pot. Pour in the vegetable broth. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth, or transfer in batches to a regular blender if preferred.

            Heat and Adjust Seasoning: Place the blended soup back on medium heat on the stove. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or cinnamon if needed.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme leaves. For a creamy texture, add a swirl of coconut cream before serving.
