Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 small butternut squash (peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch dice) (about 2 cups)
3 medium parsnips (peeled, cut into 1-inch dice) (about 1 cup)
1 medium sweet potato (peeled, cut into 1-inch dice) (about 1 cup)
2 medium carrots (peeled, cut into 1-inch dice) (about 1 cup)
1/2 fennel bulb (quartered & sliced thin) (about 1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon + 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or coarse sea salt
2 tablespoons + 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 medium onion (diced) (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups vegetable broth
2 medium russet potatoes
4-5 fresh thyme sprigs
1 cup milk (I use 2%, but anything from nonfat to whole should work just fine or unsweetened plain almond milk)
Additional salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
More pepper + thyme leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash, parsnips, sweet potatoes, carrots, and fennel with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt. Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast until tender and browned in places, about 40 minutes, turning a couple of times while roasting.
  • While the veggies are roasting, prepare the base of the soup. To a large saucepan over low heat, add 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onion along with a pinch of salt and a bit of pepper, then cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in the vegetable broth. Add the potatoes and thyme. Bring to a boil over medium heat then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Remove from heat. Pick out the thyme stems and discard.
  • Stir in the roasted vegetables. Carefully transfer about 3 cups of the chowder to the pitcher of a blender. Puree until smooth. Return the pureed mixture to the pot and stir to combine. The soup should be thick, rich, and creamy.
  • Stir in the milk. Place the pot back on the burner, and, with the heat on medium-low, return to a simmer, stirring often to prevent burning.
  • Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve garnished with an additional turn of cracked pepper and thyme leaves. Sometimes, I'll reserve a few of the roasted veggies for garnish too.
