Recipe: Creamy Carrot and Parsnip Soup


IMG_9516

Parsnips may be the less vibrantly hued cousins of carrots, but anemic in anything other than color, they are not.  For a delicious and healthy way to prepare them, check out my post about this soup on Marcus Samuelsson's blog!

I am submitting this to Deb at Kahakai Kitchen for Souper Sundays as well as to the Allergy-Free Wednesdays Blog Hop!

  13. Oh, the color of this soup!

    I am also a recent convert to parsnips, and now the more I eat it, the more I like it. My poor Mother, so much trouble to make me eat veggies while I was growing up, and now I cannot get enough of them!

    Maybe I wouldn't mind so much now I'm all grown up and can mix them with carrots!

  25. Do you think carrots sit around the produce department making fun of the parsnips and cracking albino jokes?
