• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened and the onion is beginning to turn golden brown, about 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the butter, garlic, brown sugar, and the roasted parsnips and carrots. Continue to cook and stir until all of the vegetables are very tender and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.

Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.

Add to the saucepan and stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reheat the soup over medium heat, stirring often, about 5 minutes.

CREAMY ROASTED PARSNIP AND GARLIC SOUP

Steps:

• Parsnips -- On a baking sheet, non stick or lined with parchment paper, add the parsnips and drizzle with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Just toss lightly to coat evenly. Roast on the middle shelf in a 400 degree oven. Make sure to stir a couple of times during baking until they get lightly golden brown. They will take around 30 minutes.
• Vegetable Base -- In a large soup pot, add the onions, potato, garlic and butter and bring to medium heat. You really want to sweat the onions and soften slowly, you don't want to brown them. They should take 5-7 minutes. Then add in the parsnips, vegetable broth and cook until the parsnips and vegetables are tender.
• Puree -- I love to use my immersion blender, but you could certainly use a regular blender to puree the soup. Just work in smaller batches so you don't over fill the blender. Blend until you get the desired texture you like. I like mine with a little texture, but you can puree it all the way smooth if you want.
• If you use a blender, return to the pot and add any additional, salt and pepper and the allspice to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes or so on medium low heat.
• Garnish -- As the soup is finishing, make your garnish. Ham: In a small sauce pan, saute the ham until lightly crispy. Sour Cream: Mix the sour cream and chives together.
• Serve -- A dollop of the sour cream and chives and the crispy ham. ENJOY!

Tip the hazelnuts onto a small baking tray and roast for 5 mins, then sprinkle with the cheese and roast for 5 mins more. Remove from the oven. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil and the butter in a flameproof casserole over a medium heat until foaming. Fry the onions and celery with a pinch of salt for 15 mins until the veg is softened and beginning to turn golden and sticky. Add the roasted parsnips and the stock to the pan, then bring to a simmer and cover. Continue to simmer for 15 mins, then blitz with a hand blender until smooth. Season, then stir in the vinegar and cream. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the cheesy roast hazelnuts and the extra thyme leaves.
