Butternut Squash and Parsnip Soup Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Pour chicken broth into a large stockpot over medium-high heat; add squash celery apples leek garlic allspice and thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are completely tender about 30 minutes.

While the vegetables simmer put parsnips into a large bowl. Pour coconut oil over the parsnips and toss to coat. Spread parsnips onto a baking sheet.

Roast parsnips until tender and browned about 30 minutes; add to soup.

Ladle vegetables and liquid into a blender in batches so the blender bowl is no more than half full. Hold lid in place with a towel and pulse blender a few times before leaving on to blend; puree until smooth. Repeat until all soup is pureed.

Pour pureed soup into the pot stir half-and-half into the soup and cook until hot about 5 minutes.
