ROASTED CARROT, PARSNIP AND POTATO SOUP
This is a creamy, comforting winter soup that is incredibly simple to make. All you need to do is blend together broth and roasted vegetables and heat through. You can make the soup with other roasted vegetables as well, but I love the sweet combination of the carrots and parsnips. If you've got roasted vegetables on hand, you'll need about 4 cups.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan or a baking dish with parchment or foil. Toss vegetables, including garlic cloves, with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spread in baking dish or on sheet pan in an even layer and place in oven. Set timer for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, stir vegetables and turn heat down to 400 degrees. Roast for another 20 to 30 minutes (or longer; I have found every oven I've used to be different, thus the range), or until very tender and caramelized on the edges, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. You should have about 4 cups roasted vegetables.
- Hold garlic cloves with a towel so that you don't burn your fingers. Squeeze out the pulp into a blender. Add half the vegetables and 2 cups of the stock. Cover the top of the blender with a towel pulled down tight, rather than airtight with the lid, because hot mixture will jump and push the top off if the blender is closed airtight. Blend until smooth and transfer to a soup pot. Repeat with the second half of the roasted vegetables. Transfer to the pot and whisk in remaining broth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and heat through. Serve each bowl with a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs and if you wish, a swirl of crème fraîche or yogurt.

Steps:
- Heat a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and render until crisp. Remove the bacon, finely chop and reserve for later use. Spoon off all but a few tablespoons of the smoky drippings. Melt the butter into the drippings and reduce the heat a bit. Add the potatoes and stir to coat. Add the garlic, parsnips, onions, some black pepper and nutmeg. Add the parsley, then partially cover the pot and cook to soften, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally; the color of the veg should be light golden. Remove the parsley. Puree the vegetables with the stock (in batches if necessary) in a food processor or blender, or add the stock to the soup pot and use an immersion blender. Stir in the reserved bacon bits then season the soup with salt.
- Cool the soup and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium-high heat and add in the cream. Serve in shallow bowls with chives to garnish, and buttered rolls to dunk.
- Place the chicken in a pot over a bed of bay leaves, garlic, celery, parsley, carrots and onions. Sprinkle with salt and fill the pot with water to cover the chicken. Sprinkle in a few peppercorns. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook 45 minutes, turning occasionally. Turn off the heat and cool the chicken in the broth. Separate the meat from the bones and skin. Reserve the meat and discard the bones and skin. Strain the stock.

Steps:
- Combine the potatoes, parsnips, and vegetable bouillon base in a large pot with enough water to just cover the vegetables; season with the sea salt and black pepper. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until the potatoes and parsnips are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway. Hold the lid of the blender closed with a folded towel and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the mixture moving before leaving it on to puree. Process in batches until all vegetables are pureed.
- Return blended vegetables to the pot, and place over medium heat. Stir the applesauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic paste, and truffle oil into the soup; bring to a simmer, and reduce heat. Simmer until the flavors combine, about 50 minutes. Add the cabbage to the soup, and cook until the cabbage softens, about 10 minutes.

POTATO AND PARSNIP SOUP
This soup never leaves leftovers in my house! It's an old favourite, adapted from my mother's recipe. Parsnips can be found in most grocery stores if you know where to look! I crumble in an extra stock cube as the veggies simmer to add more flavour but if you're using made-from-scratch stock you won't need it!

POTATO-PARSNIP SOUP WITH CREME FRAICHE AND BACON
I saw a potato-parsnip soup listed on a menu and thought it would be a combination that would work very well. I did some brainstorming and decided to roast the vegetables first, add smoked paprika for depth, and an assertive garnish. I'm happy with how it turned out and just love the color!

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for this velvety smooth soup. They will break down easily and create a thick, creamy texture. Avoid the waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or fingerlings.
- Roast the vegetables first: Roasting the vegetables before adding them to the soup intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a deeper, richer taste. Simply toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in a hot oven until they are tender but not mushy.
- Use vegetable broth: Vegetable broth is the best option for a vegan parsnip and potato soup, but chicken broth can also be used. For a more flavorful soup, use homemade broth made from vegetables, herbs, and spices.
- Don't overcook the soup: Parsnips and potatoes cook quickly, so it is important not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become mushy and lose their flavor. Once the vegetables are tender, remove the soup from the heat and blend until smooth.
- Season to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice. If the soup is too thick, you can add more vegetable broth or milk to thin it out.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, add a pop of color and flavor to the soup. Sprinkle them on top of the soup just before serving.
Conclusion:
This vegan parsnip and potato soup is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is made with simple, wholesome ingredients and is packed with flavor. The soup is also very easy to make, and it can be prepared in under an hour. So, next time you are looking for a quick and easy vegan meal, try this parsnip and potato soup.
