How to Make Roasted Parsnip Apple And Ginger Soup
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel and chop 1 lb parsnips into 1-inch pieces. Peel and chop 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Braeburn) into 1-inch pieces. Peel and finely grate 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger.
- In a large metal roasting pan, combine the parsnips, apples, and ginger. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, toss to coat, and cover with aluminum foil.
- Roast for 20 minutes. Remove foil, stir, and roast for an additional 20 minutes, or until vegetables are lightly browned and tender.
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the soup base. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large soup pot over medium heat.
- Add 1 leek (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 1 medium onion, chopped; and 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until slightly softened.
- Add the roasted parsnip mixture, 4 cups of vegetable broth, and 1/4 cup of fresh orange juice to the pot.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until all vegetables are very soft.
- Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (in batches if necessary) and blend until completely smooth. (Alternatively, use an immersion blender).
- Return the pureed soup to the soup pot. Stir in 1 cup of half-and-half (or heavy cream) and season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat through over medium-low heat for a few minutes. Do not boil.
- Ladle soup into bowls and garnish each with a tablespoon of crème fraîche or a swirl of plain yogurt.
