Root vegetables are taking center stage this time of year and parsnips are no exception. I’ve transformed this hardy root veggie into a slightly sweet and savory winter soup. This season is definitely about warming soups- right now my favorites are butternut squash soup and tomato basil.
You can serve this soup as an entree with a slice of crusty, sourdough bread or as a compliment to a more rounded meal. Tag me on Facebook or Instagram with your creations!
Nutrition:
Parsnip: These root veggies can easily take the place of potatoes when looking for a sweeter, lower carb alternative. They happen to be in season and easy to find in your local grocery store. Parnsips are a good source of fiber, folate and vitamin C.
Ginger: Spicy and aromatic ginger adds a kick to any dish or juice you prepare it with. I like a little bit of ginger in my green juice but adding it to roasted vegetables definitely adds a fun flavor dimension this time of year. Ginger has been shown to be anti-inflammatory and soothing for the intestinal tract, and may alleviate symptoms like nausea.
