Parsnip Soup

Parsnips are an often overlooked vegetable, but like potatoes, they make for a delicious, creamy earthy soup.

Ingredients (serves 4):

• 5 large parsnips, peeled and sliced
• 1 onion, peeled and finely diced
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 4 tbsp sour cream
• Salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste
• Optional: parsley, to garnish

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat and briefly saute the onions until they are translucent.
2. Add the parsnips to the pot and lightly saute them for a few minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
3. Pour in enough vegetable broth to just cover the vegetables.
4. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer the soup until the parsnip pieces are tender and easy to puree.
5. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If the soup is too thick, gradually add more vegetable broth until you reach the desired consistency.
6. Season the soup again with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Stir in the sour cream, and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
   
7. Serve immediately, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
   

Enjoy!
