- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel and chop the parsnips into small chunks.
Step 2
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Dice the onion and add it to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Step 4
Mince the garlic cloves and add to the pot, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7
Let it cook for about 20 minutes or until the parsnips are very tender.
Step 8
Once the parsnips are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

Stir in the heavy cream, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
