Honeycrisp Apple and Parsnip Soup image

Here's a creamy, savory and sweet soup that perfectly captures the flavors of fall. Amy Lawrence, and her husband, Justin Fox Burks, the authors of the Chubby Vegetarian blog, brought it to The Times in 2012.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups diced white onion (1 medium)
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup sparkling wine
2 large parsnips, peeled and roughly chopped, about 2 cups
2 large Honeycrisp apples, peeled and roughly chopped, about 2 cups
1 russet potato or white sweet potato, peeled and roughly chopped, about 1 1/2 cups
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
2 cups vegetable stock
1 cup half-and-half
Sea salt and cracked black pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup sliced green onions (to garnish)

Steps:

  • In a soup pot or Dutch oven, sauté onions in butter over medium heat until translucent, and then add wine. Allow the mixture to reduce until most of the liquid has evaporated, and then add parsnip, apple, potato and sage to the mixture.
  • Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, or until vegetables have softened and have taken on a slight color. Add the stock and reduce heat to medium-low. Bring the stock up to temperature. Slowly add the half-and-half to the warm mixture. Do not allow soup to boil after adding the half-and-half as it could curdle.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture smooth. Add enough stock or water to achieve the consistency you desire up to another full cup. Garnish with sliced green onion.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover Honeycrisp apples. I'll definitely be making it again.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more seasoning.

This soup is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try adding less apple next time.
