Instructions
Toss the sweet potatoes, carrots, turnips, and radishes in the olive oil and season with black pepper. Bake on a half sheet pan in a 425ºF oven for 30 minutes.
Add the red onion, garlic, and thyme to the baking sheet and stir everything together. Bake an additional 20-25 minutes until the veggies are tender and browning around the edges.
Transfer the veggies to a soup pot over medium heat with the chicken broth, using an immersion blender until smooth. (You can also transfer to a food processor or blender with some of the chicken broth then transfer to a pot with the remaining broth and water.)
Add the water and bring everything up to a boil before reducing to a simmer for 5-10 minutes. Stir in the parmesan and salt/pepper to taste before serving.
Notes
*I used Kettle & Fire Chicken Bone Broth, which boosts the protein content. With regular reduced sodium chicken broth, each serving has 7.5g of protein.
