     I used 2 large carrots, 3 very small parsnips, 1 good-sized leek. I used low-salt veg bouillon and omitted the green onions. I divided it into 6 servings. I carefully weighed the ingredients and found the nutrient data as listed to be correct. It did not spike my BG at all. And it was VERY GOOD! - 9/27/10

     I have made notes of what everyone else added. Sounds better and better. Regardless of whatever the calorie count is, it still gets leveled out in your own daily count. - 6/16/10

     I wanted a bit "stronger" flavor in mine, so I added garlic, celery, and black pepper...tasty, and a good soup for cooler Fall days. - 9/26/08

     I actually added about 1 lb of chicken and swapped butternut squash soup for the chicken broth. I added the chicken for my hubby - and it worked - he loved it and so do I! - 12/17/07

     What does a parsnip taste like - is it sort of like a turnip? - 9/27/10

     As a diabetic, I cannot eat this soup because of the high sugar content of parsnips and carrots. I'll stick with cabbage and other greens in my soups. - 8/19/10

     I added 2 potatoes, 5 carrots, 1 leek, used 8 cups water (was too much, next time will use 6 cups) and 2 1/2 bouilon cube and cayenne pepper...added at the end 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream with soem corn starch to make it a little thicker - 3/2/11

     Loved it! Much more flavorful than expected. I do recommend adding a little bit of salt, freshly ground pepper, and garlic powder during cooking. - 10/10/10
