Roasted Parsnip and Cauliflower Soup

I started experimenting with parsnips lately and came up with this soup recipe! This has become one of my favorite meals to make for the fall/winter season. I find parsnips have a natural kick of spice to them, paired with garlic and paprika, it really helped to open up my sinus passages.
1 tsp Olive Oil
3 Cloves Crushed Garlic
1 Small Head of Cauliflower Chopped (around 3 cups)
3 Medium Parsnips Peeled and Chopped
1 Small White Onion Chopped
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds or Powder
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
Black Pepper & Rock Salt
1 tsp Lemon Juice
4 Cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
2 Cups Water

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Coat cauliflower and parsnips in olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Bake in oven 30 minutes, flipping halfway.
