PARSNIP VEGETABLE SOUP
I had to use up a bunch of vegetables from my CSA box and came up with this soup. I like my soups very thick, but feel free to use more broth for a thinner soup. I only had sour cream in the fridge, but you can top with cream or crème fraiche as well.

Steps:
- Peel the parsnips and chop roughly into even sized pieces.
- Slice the onion.
- Heat the oil in a oven proof pot and saute the vegetables for 4 to 5 mins until they begin to soften but not to colour.
- Add thyme (chopped), enough water to cover the vegetables and the stock cube and bring to a simmer.
- Put on the lid and pop into the oven (bottom oven of the AGA) for 30 mins or until the vegetables are cooked through.
- Or continue to cook on the stove top at a simmer until the vegetables are cooked through. If cooking on the stove top check from time to time that the vegetables have enough liquid, you dont want them to burn!
- When the vegetables are cooked let them cool and then blitz the contents of the pot to a puree.
- Return the puree to the pan and add enough milk and water to make the consistancy that you like for your soup.
- Reheat, check seasonings and serve.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and celery and sauté over medium-low heat until both are golden.
- Add the celery leaves, parsnips, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, seasoning, bouillon cubes, and just enough water to barely cover the vegetables. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently until the vegetables are tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- With a slotted spoon, transfer half of the vegetables to a food processor or blender. Process until smoothly pureed, then stir back into the soup. Or simply insert an immersion blender into the soup pot and process until about half of the soup is pureed.
- Stir in the parsley and enough rice milk to give the soup a slightly thick consistency. Stir in the creamer, then season with salt and pepper. Return the soup to low heat and simmer very gently for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Serve at once, or if time allows, let the soup stand off the heat for an hour or so, then heat through before serving. This soup thickens as it cools. Thin the consistency of any leftover soup with additional rice milk, and adjust the seasonings.

CREAMY ROASTED PARSNIP AND GARLIC SOUP
A easy soup with tons of great flavor. Healthy and easy to make, this is a warm comforting soup. Rather than bacon or pancetta, I prefer to use diced maple cured ham, sauteed until lightly crispy as a garnish. It has a very light flavor which I think goes great with the soup.

Steps:
- Parsnips -- On a baking sheet, non stick or lined with parchment paper, add the parsnips and drizzle with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Just toss lightly to coat evenly. Roast on the middle shelf in a 400 degree oven. Make sure to stir a couple of times during baking until they get lightly golden brown. They will take around 30 minutes.
- Vegetable Base -- In a large soup pot, add the onions, potato, garlic and butter and bring to medium heat. You really want to sweat the onions and soften slowly, you don't want to brown them. They should take 5-7 minutes. Then add in the parsnips, vegetable broth and cook until the parsnips and vegetables are tender.
- Puree -- I love to use my immersion blender, but you could certainly use a regular blender to puree the soup. Just work in smaller batches so you don't over fill the blender. Blend until you get the desired texture you like. I like mine with a little texture, but you can puree it all the way smooth if you want.
- If you use a blender, return to the pot and add any additional, salt and pepper and the allspice to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes or so on medium low heat.
- Garnish -- As the soup is finishing, make your garnish. Ham: In a small sauce pan, saute the ham until lightly crispy. Sour Cream: Mix the sour cream and chives together.
- Serve -- A dollop of the sour cream and chives and the crispy ham. ENJOY!

CARROT-PARSNIP SOUP WITH PARSNIP CHIPS
Winter root vegetables lend their complementary, slightly sweet flavors to this hearty soup that came to The Times from Cooking Light magazine. Parsnip chips - thinly-sliced parsnips fried for five minutes in olive oil - sprinkled over the top add a delightful crunch. Stir in more water or broth if you prefer a thinner consistency.

Tips:
