Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and celery in hot oil until softened and onion is beginning to turn golden brown
about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; stir in butter

garlic
and roasted parsnips and carrots. Continue to cook and stir until vegetables are very soft and beginning to brown
about 5 to 10 minutes.

Working in batches
pour soup into a blender
filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel and carefully start the blender
using a few quick pulses to get soup moving before leaving it on to purée. Pour blended soup into a clean pot.
Stir in milk and cream. Return to a simmer over medium-low heat. Season with salt and pepper to serve.

You can also use an immersion blender to purée the soup right in the cooking pot.
