Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
 

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ½ sweet yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 ½ lbs parsnips (4 medium), peeled and chopped
  • ¾ lb honey crisp apples (2 medium), peeled, cored and chopped
  • 1 russet potato, peeled and chopped
  • 1 quart low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • ¾ tsp coarse Kosher salt (if using table salt, use half the amount)
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground cardamom

Instructions
 

  • In a large stock pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for about five minutes, until softened.
  • Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are very soft.
  • Use an immersion/stick blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy (or blend in batches in a high-powered blender). Adjust the seasoning or add more salt as desired.
  • Serve with crusty bread.
