Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup whole milk
½ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place the parsnips and carrots into a mixing bowl, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat the vegetables with oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables evenly over a baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until the parsnips are tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened and the onion is beginning to turn golden brown, about 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the butter, garlic, brown sugar, and the roasted parsnips and carrots. Continue to cook and stir until all of the vegetables are very tender and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Season with the ginger, cardamom, allspice, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper; stir for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken stock, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and simmer gently until all of the vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Pour the 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 the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
  • Stir in the milk and cream. Return to a simmer over medium-low heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

A little olive oil
1 litre Vegetable Stock

ROASTED CARROT, PARSNIP AND POTATO SOUP



Roasted Carrot, Parsnip and Potato Soup image

This is a creamy, comforting winter soup that is incredibly simple to make. All you need to do is blend together broth and roasted vegetables and heat through. You can make the soup with other roasted vegetables as well, but I love the sweet combination of the carrots and parsnips. If you've got roasted vegetables on hand, you'll need about 4 cups.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, appetizer, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut in 3/4 inch pieces
1/2 pound (2 large) parsnips, peeled, quartered, cored and cut in 3/4 inch pieces
1 medium or large red onion, cut in large dice
1 medium (about 6 ounces) Yukon gold potato, quartered
2 garlic cloves, in the skin
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
6 cups chicken or vegetable stock or broth
Chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, tarragon or chives, for garnish
Crème fraîche or yogurt for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan or a baking dish with parchment or foil. Toss vegetables, including garlic cloves, with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spread in baking dish or on sheet pan in an even layer and place in oven. Set timer for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, stir vegetables and turn heat down to 400 degrees. Roast for another 20 to 30 minutes (or longer; I have found every oven I've used to be different, thus the range), or until very tender and caramelized on the edges, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. You should have about 4 cups roasted vegetables.
  • Hold garlic cloves with a towel so that you don't burn your fingers. Squeeze out the pulp into a blender. Add half the vegetables and 2 cups of the stock. Cover the top of the blender with a towel pulled down tight, rather than airtight with the lid, because hot mixture will jump and push the top off if the blender is closed airtight. Blend until smooth and transfer to a soup pot. Repeat with the second half of the roasted vegetables. Transfer to the pot and whisk in remaining broth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and heat through. Serve each bowl with a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs and if you wish, a swirl of crème fraîche or yogurt.

POTATO, CARROT AND PARSNIP SOUP



Potato, Carrot and Parsnip Soup image

A delicious winter soup from "Bon Appétit Magazine" (Sept.1997). The original recipe calls for half-and-half, but milk works just as well.

Provided by blucoat

Categories     Potato

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup butter
2 large onions, halved and sliced (about 5 cups)
4 carrots, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
4 parsnips, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cups)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans low sodium chicken broth (or more, to taste) or 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans vegetable broth (or more, to taste)
3 large red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 1/4 cups milk or 1 1/4 cups half-and-half
1/8-1/4 cup sherry wine (could also try dry white wine)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until golden, about 15 minutes. Add carrots and parsnips and cook 10 minutes. Add 2 cans of broth, potatoes, parsley and thyme. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Puree half of soup in processor. Mix puree into remaining soup in pot. Stir in milk and Sherry. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Bring soup to simmer, thinning with additional broth, if desired. Ladle into bowls and serve.

Tips:

  • For a creamier soup, use half-and-half instead of milk.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a little spice.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh parsley, chives, or dill.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
  • If you don't have parsnips, you can use all carrots instead. Or, try adding other root vegetables like turnips or rutabagas.
