Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

For soup
1 large boiling potato
2 parsnips (about 1/2 pound), peeled and chopped fine
3 shallots, chopped fine (about 1/4 cup)
1 leek (white and pale green part only), trimmed, halved lengthwise, washed well, and chopped fine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
2 to 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup apple cider or juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
For fried parsnip
vegetable oil for deep-frying parsnip
1 parsnip, peeled and cut into thin strips

Steps:

  • Make soup:
  • Peel potato and cut into 1/4-inch dice. In a heavy kettle cook potato, parsnips, shallots, leek and parsley in butter over moderate heat, stirring, until leek is softened, about 12 minutes. Add broth and simmer, covered, 20 minutes, or until vegetables are very soft. In a blender purée mixture in batches and transfer to a large saucepan. Stir in cider or juice, cream, and salt and pepper to taste and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Keep soup warm.
  • Make fried parsnip:
  • In a heavy saucepan heat 1 inch oil to 360°F. on a deep-fat thermometer and fry parsnip strips in batches until golden brown, transferring with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Season fried parsnip with salt.
  • Serve soup topped with fried parsnip.

I'm not a huge fan of parsnips, but I really enjoyed this soup. The apples and onions really balance out the flavor of the parsnips.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this soup was to make. It came together in under an hour and I didn't have to babysit it on the stove. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover parsnips.

This parsnip and apple soup was an absolute delight! The creamy texture and subtle sweetness from the apples perfectly balanced the earthy flavor of the parsnips. It was both comforting and refreshing at the same time.
