Equipment

  • 1 Blender I used Vitamix
  • 1 large pot with lid

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ small onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 3 cups (1lb) peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 1 cup parsnip, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth (prepared with Better Than Bouillon)
  • ⅛ teaspoon turmeric optional, used for color
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until highly fragrant.
  • Add the sliced carrots, diced parsnips, and broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are completely fork-tender.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully purée the mixture directly in the pot using a stainless steel immersion blender until perfectly smooth and velvety. (If using a standard countertop blender, allow the soup to cool slightly and blend in batches, ensuring the blender lid is vented to allow steam to escape.)
  • Stir the fresh lemon juice into the puréed soup to brighten the flavor profile. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Vitamix maximum safe temperature is 170°. Let the soup cool down before transferring to Vitamix container.
  • You can use stainless steel immersion blender instead.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5.
