My review
Roasted Apple and Parsnip Soup
74k
Chef John
"Besides being a delicious and comforting winter meal, this roasted apple and parsnip soup is great for honing your seasoning skills. With its mild, earthy, slightly sweet, gently aromatic flavor, it's the perfect vehicle for tasting the effects of salt on food. Garnish with croutons, crumbled blue cheese, and chives."

Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- You can use a mixture of chicken broth and water instead of only chicken broth, if desired.
- A diced yellow onion could be added to the roasted vegetables. I didn't want this too sweet, so I tried without one, and it was amazing, but I'll try the next batch with that addition.

Added a roasted onion and instead of adding heavy cream I topped it with some crème fraîche and chives. It was deliciously warm and comforting and I fell asleep soon after consuming it!

It was bland with a color and consistency that reminded us of baby food.

I halved the the recipe but otherwise followed as written. It comes together easily. The parsnips have a surprisingly sweet flavor so using the bleu cheese croutons provides a nice counter bal...

I loved this! My first time eating parsnips they were oven roasted and undercooked - tough and fibrous cubes of too much of anise flavor. This soup really opens up the true flavor of parsnips, a...
