    Where can you get parsnips and turnips this time of year? I went to the store and they said they are winter vegetables and so don't have any. Or, alternatively, what would you substitute; rutabaga?? - 6/16/08

    My family loved this soup, and my husband had more for lunch today and said it is even better the second time around. Delicious! - 4/18/07
