• Butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes (2 cups)
• Carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks (1 cup)
• Parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks (1 cup)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the cut vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Add the sprigs of thyme to the vegetables. Drizzle the vegetables and thyme with olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss well.

Bake for 25-35 minutes or until vegetables are tender, turning once with a metal spatula. Once the vegetables are done cooking, discard thyme sprigs.

In a blender combine vegetable broth, milk and roasted vegetables.
