Creamy Parsnip Soup
This mellow soup is soothing all year round. The kombu is optional but brings out the sweetness of the parsnips and adds minerals. Don't worry about how neatly the vegetables are chopped as they will be puréed. Only peel the vegetables if the skins look thick or tough, or if they are not organic.
Ingredients
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, diced
1 stalk celery, cut into chunks
4 parsnips, cut into chunks
4 carrots, cut into chunks
1 bay leaf
1/2 strip kombu (optional)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
pinch ground nutmeg
4 cups water or 4 cups vegetable stock
1 tablespoon miso
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley or watercress
1 clove garlic, diced
1 stalk celery, cut into chunks
4 parsnips, cut into chunks
4 carrots, cut into chunks
1 bay leaf
1/2 strip kombu (optional)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
pinch ground nutmeg
4 cups water or 4 cups vegetable stock
1 tablespoon miso
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley or watercress
Directions
