Making changes to a recipe can result in recipe failure. Any substitutions listed below are simple changes that I believe will work in this recipe, but results are not guaranteed.

How to make apple parsnip soup

Sauté the onion, garlic, parsnips and apples. Season with salt and pepper and sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 – 7 minutes.

Deglaze the pan with wine. Add chicken broth, dairy free milk and bay leaf and bring soup to a low boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Blend into a smooth soup. You can use an immersion blender or a food processor, whichever works for you. If you use a food processor you may need to finish this step in batches. Either way, blend until smooth.

Garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving.

frequently asked questions: Apple Parsnip Soup

Do parsnips need to be peeled for soup?

I would recommend peeling the parsnips but just as with carrots, there is no need to actually remove the skins before eating them. If you choose to leave the skins on then make sure to wash them well prior to cooking.

Can I freeze parsnip soup?

You can freeze this soup for up to 3 months, if you make sure to store it in an airtight container. If you intend on freezing, make sure to allow the soup to cool fully before dividing into containers or portions.

Do parsnips need to be refrigerated?

Parsnips are a root vegetable, similar to a potato, which do not need to be refrigerated. They should be stored in a cool, dry place similar to how you would store a potato or an onion.
