ROASTED APPLE AND PARSNIP SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Spread parsnips and apples out onto prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle with kosher salt. Toss to coat.
• Roast in preheated oven until parsnips and apples are tender and caramelized around the edges, about 30 minutes.
• Stir apple-parsnip mixture, chicken broth, and potato together in a large pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
• Puree apple mixture with an immersion blender until soup is smooth. Stir cream into soup and season with cayenne pepper and salt; cook until heated through, 2 to 5 minutes.

APPLE PARSNIP SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in large Dutch oven or stock pot over medium-high heat. Add apples, parsnips, onion, and coriander and saute lightly until slightly softened, about 12 minutes.
• Add the 3 cups stock and 1 cup milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until apples and parsnips are tender--about 40 minutes.
• Remove soup from heat and puree in the pot with an immersible blender, or, puree soup in a blender in small batches. Return soup to pot.
• Return soup pot to medium-low heat. Add brown sugar, salt, and pepper, stir well to dissolve sugar, and reheat to eating temperature. Serve with cheese crumbles on top. Bleu cheese, roquefort, gorgonzola and fontina cheeses all taste delicious paired with this soup. Crack a bit more black pepper on each bowlful before eating.
• NOTE: This soup keeps well. You can make it a day ahead and store in a covered crockpot crock in the refrigerator. Reheat later in the crockpot for serving.
