Parsnip, Pear, and Apple Soup image

I adapted this recipe from some I had seen online, making it heartier and more to my family's taste. The blend of parsnips and fruits make such a satisfying, flavorful combination. Serve with a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 large apple - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 large pear - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 large leeks, white parts only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 quart chicken stock
1 (2 inch) sprig fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Toss parsnips with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl; spread parsnips onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until slightly tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Toss apples and pears with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl. Push parsnips to one side of the baking sheet and spread apples and pears onto the other side of the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the oven until fruit is soft and caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir leeks in hot oil until leeks are soft, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle balsamic vinegar over leeks. Stir parsnips, apples, pears, chicken stock, and rosemary into leeks. Bring to a simmer and cook until fruits and vegetables are completely tender and easily mashed against the side of the pot, about 20 minutes.
  • Puree vegetable mixture using an immersion blender (or blend in batches in a blender) until soup has an applesauce-like consistency.

I'm not a big fan of soup, but this one is an exception. It's creamy, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweet.
