Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 1 medium Butternut Squash Add sweetness and creamy texture; substitute with pumpkin or sweet potato if desired.
  • 2 medium Parsnips Provides an earthy flavor and fiber; can be swapped for turnips or celery root.
  • 2 medium Sweet Potatoes Contributes natural sweetness.
  • 3 medium Carrots Adds vibrant color and sweetness.
  • 1 bulb Fennel Introduces a subtle anise flavor; omit if preferred.
  • 1 medium Onion Adds depth of flavor; yellow or white onions work well.
For Thickening and Flavor
  • 3 tablespoons Flour Thickens the soup; substitute with cornstarch or arrowroot, using half the quantity.
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth Forms the base, enhancing flavor; opt for low-sodium for a healthier choice.
  • 2 medium Potatoes Adds creaminess and body; any potato type works.
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme Offers aromatic notes; use fresh or dried, but remove stems post-cooking.
For the Creamy Finish
  • 1 cup Milk Provides a creamy texture; replace with plant-based milk to keep it vegan.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Ensures vegetables caramelize beautifully during roasting.

  3. In a saucepan, heat olive oil and sauté chopped onions for about 10 minutes until softened.
  4. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for about 3 minutes to form a roux.
