CARROT-PARSNIP SOUP WITH PARSNIP CHIPS
Winter root vegetables lend their complementary, slightly sweet flavors to this hearty soup that came to The Times from Cooking Light magazine. Parsnip chips - thinly-sliced parsnips fried for five minutes in olive oil - sprinkled over the top add a delightful crunch. Stir in more water or broth if you prefer a thinner consistency.

CARROT CHIPS
This is a healthy alternative to potato chips and taste salty and sweet like sweet potato fries. This recipe is inspired by other recipes on the internet that I have played with. The thinner the slices, the crunchier the chips.

Steps:
- After peeling one of the carrots, use the vegetable peeler to peel away long strips from the whole length of the carrot, allowing the strips to drop into a large bowl. Turn the carrot in your hand about one-quarter turn after every 4 or 5 strips, so you'll generally have strips of similar width and length overall. Do the same with the remaining carrots and the parsnips, both of which have a tough core that should be discarded once you get there (the color tends to change slightly).
- Pour about 2 inches of oil into a large heavy saucepan (the oil should not come more than halfway up the sides of the pan). Bring to 375°F over medium heat.
- While the oil is heating, combine the salt and thyme in a small dish and rub them together between your fingers for a bit to release the aromatics of the thyme.
- Carefully add a handful of the vegetable strips to the oil and fry until lightly browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Use the back of a slotted spoon to gently press the strips down into the oil and spread them out a bit to help ensure even cooking. When crisped, lift out the strips and scatter them on paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining vegetable strips, allowing the oil to reheat between batches as needed.
- Transfer the chips to a serving bowl, sprinkle the thyme-salt mixture over them, and serve. They will be best served shortly after frying.

- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.

Remove from oven when lightly browned on both sides, set aside to cool. Crispy Garlic Chips: Place a small skillet over a medium heat and generously cover the bottom with olive oil, at least 1/4 cup. Thinly slice the garlic cloves and place in the hot olive oil, cook and stir until light brown-remove from the heat (don't overcook), set aside on folded paper towel to drain. Divide the greens onto the serving plates. Scatter the roasted carrot slices and garlic chips on top of each plate. Break the goat cheese into small pieces and scatter over the top of each serving. Strain the olive oil used to cook the garlic slices, place in a small bowl and add a couple of spoonfuls of the balsamic vinegar with sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, drizzle over the salads and serve.
