Pho Po is a rich and nourishing Vietnamese soup, and the name literally translates to "boned meat," a nod to the plentiful cuts of meat, including oxtail, brisket, and flank, swimming in the flavorful broth. There are many different kinds of Pho soup but this vegetarian version uses celery root and parsnips. It can be served as an appetizer to cleanse the palate, or as a light meal when paired with some steamed jasmine rice on the side. You'll find that celery root and parsnips help to caramelize and thicken the broth.

Steps:
- Peel and cut the potatoes and parsnips into even sized pieces. Put them into a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until the vegetables are fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small pot gently heat the cream and butter over low heat. When the vegetables are done drain them well. Put the vegetables back into the pot over medium heat. Gently stir them to remove any excess moisture; be careful not to burn them. While the potatoes and parsnips are still warm, press them through a potato ricer or food mill into a bowl. Add the warm cream a little at a time and beat with a wooden spoon until the potatoes are fluffy. Season with salt and pepper and gently stir in the chives. Serve immediately.
MASHED PARSNIPS AND CELERY ROOT - PHO POI
Steps:
- Put the celery root and parsnips into a medium pot and cover them with the milk. Bring to a simmer and let cook until the parsnips and celery root are tender and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Strain the vegetables from the pot, making sure to reserve 1 cup of the milk before discarding the remainder. Return the parsnips and celery root to the pot, add the butter and mash the ingredients with a potato masher. If you want a smoother texture, then blend in a food processor.
- Add in some of the reserved milk to lighten the consistency. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper and stir until well incorporated. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

This is an exciting alternative to basic mashed potatoes and makes an interesting and attractive side dish to any kind of meat, poultry or fish. The celery root adds a wonderfully distinct flavour. I suggest using the chicken stock and always, always use the fresh herbs. This recipe is from the LCBO Food and Drink magazine.

MASHED PARSNIPS
I was tricked into trying mashed parsnips (I was told they were mashed potatoes) and fell instantly in love. I haven't made mashed potatoes since. Mashed parsnips are full of much more flavor, slightly sweet, but the same great texture. And they are much healthier!

PARSNIP AND CELERY ROOT MASH
These are two vegetables that are usually dead cheap at the market, but not enough people know what to do with them. The parsnips can be peeled and cut just like carrots, but the tough skin and larger size of the celery root (aka celeraic) requires a big knife. This is a favourite in my home, where we serve it as a substitute for mashed potatoes. I like a coarse mash and use a regular potato masher, but you can use a stick blender for a smoother purée.
