Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toss together the chopped carrots, sweet potato, parsnip, and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and tender.
  2. Heat a splash of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the freshly grated ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the roasted vegetables to the pot with sautéed ginger. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir well. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
  4. Remove the pot from heat and blend the soup until silky smooth using an immersion blender.
  5. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and more ginger if desired. Serve warm, drizzling with coconut milk and garnishing with fresh herbs and pumpkin seeds.
