Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss parsnips and onion with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast 15 minutes. Flip; roast until golden brown and tender, about 20 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium-high, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add chorizo and cook, turning, until crisp and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a small plate. Reduce heat to medium and add sliced garlic; cook until just golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to plate with chorizo; reserve oil in skillet.
- Transfer roasted vegetables to a medium saucepan; add broth, 1/2 cup water, and minced garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, partially covered, until vegetables are very soft, about 10 minutes. Working in batches, blend until smooth (if necessary, thin with up to 1/4 cup water total). Season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, heat soup through in saucepan over medium-high. Serve, topping each bowl with a few pieces of chorizo and cooked garlic, a spoonful of caper tapenade, and a drizzle of reserved chorizo oil.
CHORIZO AND PARSNIP SOUP
This is based on a recipe I found in a supermarket magazine. The original recommends serving this semi-chunky so if you don't want to puree the whole batch at the end just do half to keep more texture in the soup. A great use of those winter vegetables. The topping is optional.

POTATO AND PARSNIP SOUP
This soup never leaves leftovers in my house! It's an old favourite, adapted from my mother's recipe. Parsnips can be found in most grocery stores if you know where to look! I crumble in an extra stock cube as the veggies simmer to add more flavour but if you're using made-from-scratch stock you won't need it!

CHICKPEA AND CHORIZO SOUP
This simple Spanish-style Chickpea and Chorizo soup is a favorite at our house, making an appearance at least once a month (if not more!) during the chilly months. The recipe starts off simply--sliced Spanish-style chorizo sauteed with onions and garlic until fragrant. Then you add some rinsed canned chickpeas, tomatoes, a few spices, and chicken broth, and let the whole thing simmer for about half an hour or so. And that's really it! Serve it up right away or divide into batches for lunch tomorrow. This thing can be heated and reheated half a dozen times, and it always tastes fantastic. A chunk of crusty bread is optional, but definitely recommended.

Tips:
- Mirepoix Matters: Mirepoix is a crucial flavor base in this soup, providing a solid foundation of savory goodness. Don't skimp on the vegetables - their sweetness and earthiness are essential.
- Sear the Parsnips: Searing the parsnips before adding them to the soup enhances their flavor by caramelizing the natural sugars and adding a delightful roasted note.
- Chorizo Choice: Opt for a good-quality, spicy chorizo for a bolder, more authentic flavor. If you prefer a milder taste, choose a sweet or semi-sweet variety.
- Season Wisely: Taste the soup frequently and season accordingly. Start with a modest amount of salt and pepper, then adjust to your preference.
- Garnish Generously: Fresh herbs like parsley or chives add a vibrant pop of color and an extra layer of flavor. A drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese can also elevate the soup's presentation.
