The only change I made was to add an onion to the vegetables. It's a bit on the sweet side, thanks to the parsnips and apples, but rich and velvety even without the addition of butter, cream or potato! I will definitely make this again and add a bit of cumin. Delicious. - 3/16/11

Thanks, Ellen. Your idea to add cumin is great. I think that would add a nice complexity that would compliment the apples well.
