Best 11 Carrot Parsnip Bisque Recipes

ROASTED PARSNIPS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• If the parsnips and carrots are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Slice each diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. The vegetables will shrink while cooking, so don't make the pieces too small. Place the cut vegetables on a sheet pan. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss well. Roast for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables, tossing occasionally, until the parsnips and carrots are just tender. Sprinkle with dill and serve hot.

HONEY ROASTED PARSNIP BISQUE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Toss the parsnips with the oil and 1 teaspoon of salt and drizzle with 3 tablespoons honey. Place on a baking sheet and put into the top half of the oven. Roast 30 minutes, or until the parsnips are a deep golden brown; they tend to burn easily so make sure to toss often while roasting.
• Meanwhile, put the water into a large pot and place over high heat. Lay a double layer of cheesecloth on a flat surface and place the carrot, onion, parsley, bay leaves and peppercorns in the center. Tie the cheesecloth up and around the vegetable and herb mix and drop it into the water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Remove the parsnips from the oven and place them immediately into the stock. Add the remaining honey and salt and white pepper; simmer for about 20 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender, or in batches in a blender. Add the cream and cook for another 10 minutes or until thick.

CARROT BISQUE

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, heat 1 cup of brandy on high heat until the liquid is almost entirely reduced (~3-5 minutes).
• Reduce heat to medium and add the stick of butter.
• Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add to the pot when the butter is melted.
• Cook until onions are soft, stirring occasionally.
• While the onions cook, wash, but don't peel, the carrots. Cut them into 1" to 1.5" pieces, then slice in half the long way (resulting in 1"-1.5" long half-moon shaped pieces). Set aside.
• Once the onions are soft, add half of the chicken broth and whisk in the flour (it will probably remain a bit lumpy).
• Add the remaining chicken broth and the remaining cup of brandy. Whisk again and add the carrots.
• Let the mixture boil on medium for ~45 minutes or until carrots are soft. Stir every few minutes to avoid burning the flour to the bottom of the pot.
• Puree the entire mixture in a food processor. (It takes me three rounds to puree it all). Mix for ~10 seconds, scrape the sides, and then mix for another 10-15 seconds. If doing it in batches, grab a large mixing bowl to pour your pureed product into.
• Clean out your stock pot (be sure to get all the flour out). Pour the pureed mixture back into the stock pot and heat to medium. Be sure to keep stirring, or the thick mixture will pop and splatter at you. Not fun.
• Add your spices to taste and simmer for about 5 minutes. (If using crab, add it with the spices.).
• Add the cream and stir until completely mixed.
• If adding scallops, cook them however you like, (I melt some butter in a pan and fry them on medium for 60 seconds, flip them over and heat another 60 seconds) then shred them up and add them to the bisque last thing.
• For added flair: After you have ladled the bisque into bowls, you can swirl a drizzle of extra cream onto the top in a fun pattern.

CARROT BISQUE

Steps:

• In a stockpot over low-med heat, cook the carrots and the onions in the peanut oil for 7 to 10 min.; cover and stir occasionally. You want the onions to brown but not burn, although if the burn a little bit it's not the end of the world. Add the garlic, curry, salt, and pepper; saute for 1 more minute Add the 3 cups broth, cover, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 12 min., or until the carrots are tender.
• Add the coconut milk and bring to a low boil. Turn the heat off. Use a handheld blender to puree half of the soup; if you don't have one, then puree half the soup in a blender and add it back to the soup pot. Add the maple syrup and stir. Serve hot.
