Steps:
- Prepare the vegetables: Cut the potatoes into cubes. Cut the dark green part off of the leeks and discard it. (You can also save it for making a vegetable broth.) Slice the white and light green part of the leek in half and rinse well to remove any dirt. Then slice the leek into ¼ inch slices.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crisp. Then, remove the bacon and set it aside for later. Drain the bacon drippings, leaving less than half in the pot. (about 1 tbsp drippings)
- Add the leeks and butter. Saute for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the leeks are slightly softened, but do not let leek brown. Add the garlic, salt, pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Mix in the potatoes, parsnip, broth, thyme, Italian seasoning, and water. Bring the soup to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook covered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and parsnip and very tender. Remove the bay leaf.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency. Or, transfer the soup in batches to a high-powered heat-proof blender and blend until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add a bit more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste the soup and adjust the flavor as necessary; adding more salt to enhance the flavor.

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!

CREAMY LEEK AND PARSNIP SOUP
This soup has a kind of quiet charm. Whizzed until creamy in a blender, it is a happy marriage of silky leeks and earthy parsnips - think leek and potato soup, but with more depth of character. It's very good made with water instead of broth; sautéing the leeks and parsnips very slowly, to concentrate flavor before adding liquid, is the key to success.

Steps:
- Put olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add leeks and parsnips, and stir to coat. Add the 2 teaspoons salt and pepper to taste.
- Let vegetables sizzle and cook, stirring frequently until nearly caramelized, but without browning, until softened, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add bay leaf, turmeric and garlic, and stir to coat. Increase heat to high, add water or broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes more. Taste broth and adjust seasoning.
- With a blender, purée soup to a creamy consistency. (Small batches work best.) Thin with water or broth, if necessary - it should be like a thin milkshake, not thick and porridge-like.
- Reheat the soup before serving. Serve plain, or give each bowl a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil or a dollop of crème fraîche or yogurt, if desired.
TURNIP, LEEK AND POTATO SOUP
A simple French soup that works well regardless of which vegetable gets the emphasis. This is a simple French soup. If you want to vary the proportions of vegetables you can; it works well whether you emphasize the turnips, as I do here, the leeks or the potatoes. Turnips have a slightly bitter edge, and tarragon makes a lovely sweet garnish. Chives would also work.
