Potato, Carrot and Parsnip Soup image

A delicious winter soup from "Bon Appétit Magazine" (Sept.1997). The original recipe calls for half-and-half, but milk works just as well.

1/4 cup butter
2 large onions, halved and sliced (about 5 cups)
4 carrots, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
4 parsnips, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cups)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans low sodium chicken broth (or more, to taste) or 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans vegetable broth (or more, to taste)
