Healthy Carrot-Parsnip Soup image

Eleanor Chilson of Plantation, Florida enjoys her memories of this tasty soup almost as much as making it. "My mom made it for us on chilly autumn or winter nights," she recalls. Tip: For added richness, use up the half-and-half cream in recipes that call for milk.
