Parsnip Vegetable Soup image

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.

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some extra carrots and potatoes, and they worked perfectly in this recipe.

I'm allergic to celery, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious, and I didn't miss the celery at all.

I made this soup in a slow cooker, and it was perfect. The flavors had time to develop, and the soup was incredibly flavorful.

I accidentally added too much garlic, but the soup was still really good. The garlic flavor was strong, but not overpowering.

Used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it was still amazing. Highly recommend this recipe for vegans and vegetarians.

I added some fresh thyme from my garden, and it really elevated the soup. The thyme added a wonderfully aromatic touch.

This parsnip soup turned out amazing! The flavors were incredible. Creamy, earthy, and a hint of sweetness from the parsnips. Definitely a keeper recipe!
