Parsnip Parmesan Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large wide pot over medium heat. Add the onion, a large pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender but not browned, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary and nutmeg; cook until the garlic is softened, about 30 seconds more.
• Add the parsnips, cauliflower, broth and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, cover and simmer until the parsnips and cauliflower are tender, about 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes.
• Carefully puree in batches in a blender until smooth, taking care not to fill the carafe more than half full per batch, or directly in the pot with an immersion blender. Reheat the soup over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until steaming. Stir in the half-and-half and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Add a few splashes of hot water if the soup is too thick. Top with a piece of roasted cauliflower and roasted parsnip. Sprinkle with the chives.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add carrot, leek, onion, ginger, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add parsnips and broth and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until all vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Puree soup with an immersion blender and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add more broth if soup is too thick.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place the parsnips and carrots into a mixing bowl, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat the vegetables with oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables evenly over a baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until the parsnips are tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened and the onion is beginning to turn golden brown, about 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the butter, garlic, brown sugar, and the roasted parsnips and carrots. Continue to cook and stir until all of the vegetables are very tender and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.

• Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
• Stir in the milk and cream. Return to a simmer over medium-low heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
