Parsnip And Orange Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a soup pot (one with a lid) over medium temperature, melt together the oil and butter, then saute the onions until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add parsnips and ginger and saute for 5 minutes.
• Add the orange rind (not the juice, just yet) and chicken stock, cover, and simmer over medium heat for 30-35 minutes, removing lid for last 10 minutes.
• Let cool slightly, then pour into a blender and liquidize.
• Return soup to pot, stir in the reserved orange juice, and reheat.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with a swirl of cream and chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Trim and scrub or peel the carrots and parsnips. If the parsnips are thick, slice them in half or quarters lengthwise so they are about the same width as the carrots.
• Place the carrots and parsnips in a pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, that's large enough for the vegetables to lie flat. Add the shallots, orange zest, 3/4 cup of the orange juice, the olive oil, thyme, red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
• Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover tightly with a lid or heavy-duty foil. Transfer to the oven and cook for 1 1/2 hours, until the carrots and parsnips are very tender. Discard the thyme bundle. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of orange juice and the parsley and season to taste. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Peel parsnips, de-string celery.
• Chop onion, parsnips and celery roughly.
• Quarter the oranges, discard pips.
• Melt butter in large pot, add all vegetables.
• Cook 5 minutes, add oranges and stock.
• Season to taste.
• Bring to the boil, simmer 45 minutes.
• Remove orange pieces, squeezing out any juice.
• Stir in cream.
• Puree soup with stick blender.
• Serve garnished with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Dice the onion and press the garlic clove then sweat these in the olive oil until the onion begins to soften. (Note: In her recipes, BC sweats vegetables by cooking in the oil over low heat for about 20 minutes to soften the vegetables and bring out the flavour.).
• Peel and grate the parnips, carrots and giner and add them to the pan. Continue to sweat the vegetables until the parsnips and carrots begin to soften.
• Add the orange rind and juice and the stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for another 10 minutes or until all the ingredients are cooked.
• Process the soup. (Note: I use a hand blender right in the pot, but a food processor or blender would do as well.).
• Season to taste with salt and pepper, heat through and serve garnished with parsley.
