Parsnip and Turnip Soup
From the website toomanychefs.com
1 onion, peeled and diced fine
2 cloves crushed garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 parsnips, peeled and diced into 1 pieces
1 carrot, peeled and diced into 1 pieces
2 turnips, peeled and diced into 1 cubes
1 stalk celery, cut into 1 pieces
1 large potato, peeled and diced into 1 cubes
4 cups vegetable stocksalt and pepper to taste
In a dutch oven or soup pot, heat the oil until it shimmers. Add the garlic, celery, and onion and sautee for about 60 seconds. Add the rest of the vegetables, cover, and sautee over medium-high heat stirring fairly frequently until the vegetables soften up and are easily pierced by a sharp knife, about seven-ten minutes. Add the stock and cook for 20 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring and scraping the bottom to get any vegetable fond that has stuck to the bottom into the soup.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Blend with an immersion blender and serve.
