Parsnip, Pear, and Apple Soup image

I adapted this recipe from some I had seen online, making it heartier and more to my family's taste. The blend of parsnips and fruits make such a satisfying, flavorful combination. Serve with a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 large apple - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 large pear - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 large leeks, white parts only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 quart chicken stock
1 (2 inch) sprig fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Toss parsnips with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl; spread parsnips onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until slightly tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Toss apples and pears with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl. Push parsnips to one side of the baking sheet and spread apples and pears onto the other side of the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the oven until fruit is soft and caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir leeks in hot oil until leeks are soft, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle balsamic vinegar over leeks. Stir parsnips, apples, pears, chicken stock, and rosemary into leeks. Bring to a simmer and cook until fruits and vegetables are completely tender and easily mashed against the side of the pot, about 20 minutes.
  • Puree vegetable mixture using an immersion blender (or blend in batches in a blender) until soup has an applesauce-like consistency.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I think I must have forgotten to add some of the spices.

This soup is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of parsnips, but this soup changed my mind! The sweetness of the pears and apples balanced out the earthiness of the parsnips perfectly.

This soup is delicious and easy to make! I used a blender to puree the soup instead of a food processor, and it turned out great.
