Heat oven to 425°F.

In large bowl, mix carrots, parsnips, celery, squash, 3 tablespoons of the oil, the thyme, salt and black pepper; toss to coat evenly, and divide between 2 ungreased large rimmed baking pans. Spread in single layer; roast in oven 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring halfway through.
3

In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook 6 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and softened. Add broth and roasted vegetables; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 20 to 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Gradually stir in cheese. Stir in parsley and vinegar. Taste, and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper if necessary.

Ladle into serving bowls, and garnish with additional cheese.

If you would like to make a heartier, nonvegetarian version of this soup, just add 3 cups shredded cooked chicken.
