Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Place the parsnips and carrots into a mixing bowl, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat the vegetables with oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables evenly over a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven until the parsnips are tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened and the onion is beginning to turn golden brown, about 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the butter, garlic, brown sugar, and the roasted parsnips and carrots. Continue to cook and stir until all of the vegetables are very tender and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
- Season with the ginger, cardamom, allspice, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper; stir for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken stock, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and simmer gently until all of the vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes.
- Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
- Stir in the milk and cream. Return to a simmer over medium-low heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

CREAMY ROASTED PARSNIP AND GARLIC SOUP
A easy soup with tons of great flavor. Healthy and easy to make, this is a warm comforting soup. Rather than bacon or pancetta, I prefer to use diced maple cured ham, sauteed until lightly crispy as a garnish. It has a very light flavor which I think goes great with the soup.

Steps:
- Parsnips -- On a baking sheet, non stick or lined with parchment paper, add the parsnips and drizzle with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Just toss lightly to coat evenly. Roast on the middle shelf in a 400 degree oven. Make sure to stir a couple of times during baking until they get lightly golden brown. They will take around 30 minutes.
- Vegetable Base -- In a large soup pot, add the onions, potato, garlic and butter and bring to medium heat. You really want to sweat the onions and soften slowly, you don't want to brown them. They should take 5-7 minutes. Then add in the parsnips, vegetable broth and cook until the parsnips and vegetables are tender.
- Puree -- I love to use my immersion blender, but you could certainly use a regular blender to puree the soup. Just work in smaller batches so you don't over fill the blender. Blend until you get the desired texture you like. I like mine with a little texture, but you can puree it all the way smooth if you want.
- If you use a blender, return to the pot and add any additional, salt and pepper and the allspice to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes or so on medium low heat.
- Garnish -- As the soup is finishing, make your garnish. Ham: In a small sauce pan, saute the ham until lightly crispy. Sour Cream: Mix the sour cream and chives together.
- Serve -- A dollop of the sour cream and chives and the crispy ham. ENJOY!

CHORIZO AND PARSNIP SOUP
This is based on a recipe I found in a supermarket magazine. The original recommends serving this semi-chunky so if you don't want to puree the whole batch at the end just do half to keep more texture in the soup. A great use of those winter vegetables. The topping is optional.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the parsnips onto a baking tray and toss with half the oil, the honey and thyme sprigs. Season to taste and roast for 45 mins, turning halfway through until the parsnips are golden brown and caramelised. Remove from the oven and discard the thyme. Tip the hazelnuts onto a small baking tray and roast for 5 mins, then sprinkle with the cheese and roast for 5 mins more. Remove from the oven. Set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil and the butter in a flameproof casserole over a medium heat until foaming. Fry the onions and celery with a pinch of salt for 15 mins until the veg is softened and beginning to turn golden and sticky. Add the roasted parsnips and the stock to the pan, then bring to a simmer and cover. Continue to simmer for 15 mins, then blitz with a hand blender until smooth. Season, then stir in the vinegar and cream. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the cheesy roast hazelnuts and the extra thyme leaves.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Roast the parsnips until they are tender and slightly caramelized for a richer flavor.
- Use a good quality chorizo for the best flavor. A Spanish chorizo will give the soup a smoky, spicy flavor, while a Mexican chorizo will give it a more mild, sweet flavor.
- If you don't have any chorizo, you can substitute bacon or pancetta.
- Add a splash of cream or milk to the soup for a richer flavor and texture.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives, for a pop of color and flavor.
