Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add leeks and parsnips, and stir to coat. Add the 2 teaspoons salt and pepper to taste.
- 2
Let vegetables sizzle and cook, stirring frequently until softened but without browning, 10 to 15 minutes.
- 3
Add bay leaf, turmeric and garlic, and stir to coat. Increase heat to high, add water or broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes more. Taste broth and adjust seasoning.
- 4
Remove bay leaf! With a blender, purée soup to a creamy consistency. Thin with water or broth, if desired.
- 5
Reheat the soup before serving. Serve plain, or give each bowl a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice and/or a dollop of crème fraîche or yogurt, if desired.

Poor parsnips, what culinary delights can you provide? For one this incredible soup! Not every soup needs to be completely savory. It has a smooth finish if you add the half & half.

I attempted to recreate a soup I had at Fleur de Sel, a restaurant in New York. (The soup at the restaurant had boiled chestnuts added to it.)I think it would be hard to find parsnips in Japan, but if you can get them, please try making this soup. By the way, parsnips are part of the parsley family. Recipe by K-ana

Yes, that title is a mouthful, but that's the best description! I wanted an Indian inspired dish, and this is what came about. Paleo, vegan/vegetarian, gluten free, and oh so tasty! FYI Using honey will transition this dish from vegan to vegetarian, and depending on your paleo philosophy you may not consider it paleo at that point either. That is why it's optional. ;)

Here is a standard recipe for leek, which are grown in the cold winter.For variation, add cheese to change the flavor of this simple soup.The key is to cook the leek slowly to bring out the flavor, but don't burn it.If you like a richer flavor, substitute part of the amount of milk with heavy cream.This has a substantially thick consistency. Adjust the thickness as desired. Recipe by KT121 -
