• Place in the oven to roast for 30-40 minutes, or until tender.
• Then heat a frying pan until hot and add the onion and garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes until the onions become translucent.
• Add the butternut squash, parsnips, chilli and spices to the onions and garlic and stir the ingredients until everything is pretty much coated with the spices.
• Now add the coconut milk and stir gently over a low-medium heat, being careful not to burn the mixture, for 3-4 minutes.
• Transfer this mixture to a food processor and blend to a smooth consistency.
• Now add the stock to the food processor and blend more.

ROASTED SQUASH, PARSNIPS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Position oven racks in the upper and lower third of the oven, put 2 baking sheets in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Cut all the vegetables into evenly sized 1 1/2-inch chunks. Cut out the core of the parsnips if they are tough and woody. Toss all the vegetables with the garlic, oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous grinding of pepper in a large bowl.
• Carefully remove the hot baking sheets from the oven and drizzle with oil. Divide the vegetables evenly between the 2 pans and spread into a single layer. Roast the vegetables until tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Toss with the parsley and chives.

ROASTED-SQUASH-AND-PARSNIP SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Scoop seeds and pulp from squash; discard. (Or lightly coat seeds in oil, season with salt, and roast on a rimmed baking sheet until crisp and darkened slightly, about 20 minutes; let cool and reserve for garnish.) On a rimmed baking sheet, rub squash halves with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt; turn cut-sides down. On another rimmed baking sheet, toss parsnips and leeks with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, season with salt, and sprinkle evenly with thyme and chopped sage; spread in a single layer.
• Roast 30 minutes. Add apples to sheet with squash, cut-sides up. Continue roasting until vegetables turn golden brown in places and are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes more. When cool enough to handle, scoop flesh from squash; transfer half to a blender with half of other vegetables and apples, 2 cups broth, and 1 cup water. Puree until smooth, adding more water as needed if too thick to self-level. Pour through a sieve into a pot. Repeat process with remaining vegetables, apples, broth, and 1 more cup water.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until fragrant and golden brown and dark-brown sediment particles form in bottom of pan, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir brown butter into soup; season with salt and pepper. Rewarm soup over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally and adding more water as necessary until it reaches desired consistency.
• Wipe pan clean. Heat 1/4 inch of oil over medium-high. When it shimmers, add a handful of sage leaves; cook, stirring a few times, until darkened slightly, 20 to 30 seconds. Transfer to paper towels, season with salt, and let stand until cool and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Fry more sage as desired. Serve soup topped with crisped sage, pepitas, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and a drizzle of oil.

• Add thyme, rosemary, sage, parsley, and bay leaves to the pot, tucking the sprigs down into the vegetables so they can release their oils. Add garlic and continue to stir occasionally. Be careful not to let the garlic burn. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.

• 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.
