Does anyone else love all the root vegetables that are in season right now?
It is rare for parsnip to feature as a key ingredient in most recipes. In this soup parsnip combines with garlic, onion and celery to form a rich and thick consistency for the soup. Turmeric, gives the vegetables an inviting deep gold color to the soup, while the coriander, cumin and chili powder gives the soup warmth, depth and a slight hot touch. I kept the soup rustic. Feel free to use your blender to puree the soup. It’s a perfect soup for a healthier lifestyle.

“Oh, I am a big fan of pureed cauliflower soups because of how creamy they are. I bet this is even better, because parsnips have that wonderful, natural nutty flavor to them.”

“This looks like it's going to be very good...I would have to disagree about how long the prep time is, however! I am doubling the recipe, but still--it takes much longer to chop vegetables (perhaps I'm very slow?) Anyway, I look forward to trying the finished product!”
