• Melt the butter and oil in a large saucepan. Gently fry the onions and parsnips for 15 minutes, or until the onions are softened. Add the garlic and apples and cook for a further two minutes, stirring regularly.
• Pour over the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the parsnips are very soft. Remove from the heat and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Blend the mixture in a food processor until smooth.

HONEYCRISP APPLE AND PARSNIP SOUP

Steps:

• In a soup pot or Dutch oven, sauté onions in butter over medium heat until translucent, and then add wine. Allow the mixture to reduce until most of the liquid has evaporated, and then add parsnip, apple, potato and sage to the mixture.
• Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, or until vegetables have softened and have taken on a slight color. Add the stock and reduce heat to medium-low. Bring the stock up to temperature. Slowly add the half-and-half to the warm mixture. Do not allow soup to boil after adding the half-and-half as it could curdle.
• Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture smooth. Add enough stock or water to achieve the consistency you desire up to another full cup. Garnish with sliced green onion.

• Bake in the oven until fruit is soft and caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir leeks in hot oil until leeks are soft, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle balsamic vinegar over leeks. Stir parsnips, apples, pears, chicken stock, and rosemary into leeks. Bring to a simmer and cook until fruits and vegetables are completely tender and easily mashed against the side of the pot, about 20 minutes.

VEGETARIAN APPLE-PARSNIP SOUP

Steps:

• To make the broth: heat the olive oil very slowly in a large pot. Add the onion, carrots, celery and leeks and sauté until the onions are transparent.
• Add 10 cups of water along with the bay leaves, thyme and tomatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat, half covered, for 45 minutes. During the last few minutes of cooking, add the parsley and chervil, and season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Put everything through a sieve and set the broth aside.
• For the soup: put the parsnips and the lemon juice in a large bowl. Cover with water and let sit until you are ready to make the soup. Drain and dry the parsnips.
• Heat the olive oil and the butter in a heavy soup pot. Add the shallots, parsnips and apples and sauté for about 10 minutes, or until the onions are clear but not golden. Add the cider and cook uncovered for 5 minutes. Then add the broth, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer slowly for 40 minutes. Add salt, white pepper and nutmeg.
• Purée the soup in a blender or food processor, and, if you want more acidity, add the cider vinegar. Serve immediately.

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.
