Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash, parsnips, sweet potatoes, carrots, and fennel with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt. Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast until tender and browned in places, about 40 minutes, turning a couple of times while roasting.
- While the veggies are roasting, prepare the base of the soup. To a large saucepan over low heat, add 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onion along with a pinch of salt and a bit of pepper, then cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Stir in the vegetable broth. Add the potatoes and thyme. Bring to a boil over medium heat then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Remove from heat. Pick out the thyme stems and discard.
- Stir in the roasted vegetables. Carefully transfer about 3 cups of the chowder to the pitcher of a blender. Puree until smooth. Return the pureed mixture to the pot and stir to combine. The soup should be thick, rich, and creamy.
- Stir in the milk. Place the pot back on the burner, and, with the heat on medium-low, return to a simmer, stirring often to prevent burning.
- Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve garnished with an additional turn of cracked pepper and thyme leaves. Sometimes, I'll reserve a few of the roasted veggies for garnish too.

- If you're using fresh vegetables, be sure to wash them thoroughly before cooking.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
- Season the chowder to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. Some good options include bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary.
- Serve the chowder hot with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
