CARROT AND PARSNIP SOUP

Steps:

• Finely dice the onion
• Chop the parsnip and carrot into small chunks
• Melt the butter in a saucepan with a little olive oil (to stop the butter burning)
• Sweat the onion for 10 mins over a low heat. Do not let the onion brown. It should take on a translucent look
• Add the chopped parsnips and carrot
• Pour on the vegetable stock (or water and 2 knorr cubes)
• Bring to the boil and leave to simmer for 30 mins.
• When the parsnips and carrots are completely soft, remove from heat and allow to cool
• Pour the cooled mixture into a liquidizer and liquidize until completely smooth
• Pour the mixture into a clean saucepan, passing it through a sieve first. Use the back of a spoon to push the last of the mixture through. This will create an even smoother soup.

ROASTED CARROT, PARSNIP AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan or a baking dish with parchment or foil. Toss vegetables, including garlic cloves, with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spread in baking dish or on sheet pan in an even layer and place in oven. Set timer for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, stir vegetables and turn heat down to 400 degrees. Roast for another 20 to 30 minutes (or longer; I have found every oven I've used to be different, thus the range), or until very tender and caramelized on the edges, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. You should have about 4 cups roasted vegetables.
• Hold garlic cloves with a towel so that you don't burn your fingers. Squeeze out the pulp into a blender. Add half the vegetables and 2 cups of the stock. Cover the top of the blender with a towel pulled down tight, rather than airtight with the lid, because hot mixture will jump and push the top off if the blender is closed airtight. Blend until smooth and transfer to a soup pot. Repeat with the second half of the roasted vegetables. Transfer to the pot and whisk in remaining broth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and heat through. Serve each bowl with a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs and if you wish, a swirl of crème fraîche or yogurt.
