Steps:
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
- Add parsnips, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until vegetables start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
- Add ginger, cardamom, allspice and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
- Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until parsnips are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
- Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

Steps:
- Leeks have a good amount of sand trapped between the layers in both the white and green parts. Be sure to soak, rinse and clean well so as not to spoil the final results.
- Add olive oil, sliced leeks and ginger to a large sauce pan over medium heat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the leeks begin to soften and the ginger becomes fragrant.
- Peel and slice the parsnips into 1/4 inch thick disks. If the vegetables are large, cut in half lengthwise before slicing. Add the sliced parsnips to the pot and cook an additional 7 to 8 minutes. Should the pan get dry, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the vegetable broth to keep the pan from scorching.
- Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add the white wine. Cook for 20 minutes uncovered. When done the vegetables should be soft and tender.
- Place the soup in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. (I use an immersion blender for this step.) Season with white pepper and salt to taste.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with a small dollop of yogurt (or for a more elegant presentation you can thin the yogurt and make swirls or a web pattern) and a small sprinkle of smoked paprika.
Tips:
- Choose the right parsnips. Look for firm, unblemished parsnips that are about the same size. Smaller parsnips tend to be more tender and flavorful.
- Peel the parsnips thinly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming stringy.
- Use a sharp knife to dice the parsnips. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Sauté the parsnips in butter or oil before adding the broth. This will help them develop flavor and prevent them from becoming bland.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the soup.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices as desired.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream before serving. This will add a pop of flavor and color.
Conclusion:
Creamy parsnip soup with ginger is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover parsnips. This soup is made with just a few simple ingredients, and it can be ready in under an hour. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
