- 3 teaspoons Frontier Co-op five spice powder (divided)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (divided)

- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 cups water
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Scallions (for topping)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cut pumpkin into wedges and remove seeds. Then place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of five spice and toss with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
- Trim ends of parsnip and chop into large sections. Transfer to second baking sheet. Then cut shallots into quarters and transfer to baking sheet with parsnips. Add sliced ginger root. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of five spice and toss with 1 tablespoon coconut oil until well coated.
- Roast parsnips, shallots and ginger on top rack of oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until parsnips are tender. Roast pumpkin on lower rack of oven at the same time for 35 to 45 minutes, until fork-tender.

- Transfer soup to a pot. Finally, bring to a boil on medium heat and reduce to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with chopped scallions and a swirl of coconut cream.
Notes
Tips & Tricks: Add about 1 tablespoon of fresh minced ginger when you puree the soup if you want a bit of a kick. For a very smooth soup, pour through a sieve before heating on the stove.
