What you need
- 2 pounds parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 3 carrots (white carrots if you can find them), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- White Onion, Large
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 4 cups chicken organic stock
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Roast the parsnips
- Preheat an oven to 425.
- 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.
Make the soup
- 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.
- Season with the ginger, cardamom, allspice, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper; stir for 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken stock, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and simmer gently until all of the vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes.
With a hand blender
- If you have a hand blender, puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
With a regular blender
- 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.
Finnish the soup
- Stir in the milk and cream.
- Return to a simmer over medium-low heat.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
