2 cups parsnips, peeled and chopped

1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme

Instructions

Prep the Vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop the carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Roast the Vegetables: Toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Combine and Blend: Add the roasted vegetables and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.
Add Creaminess: Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk and heat gently over low heat. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and thyme.
Serve: Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with chopped chives or parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread.
