Introduction

If you are looking for soup that has the wholesome goodness healing power of "Chicken Soup" that spares the bird, this soup is packed with flavor. The parsnips are the secret.

Parsnips are in season fall and winter, and are found along with the carrots, celery, garlic, onions and leek for your recipe except the olive oil and pasta or rice - at guess where? Your local Organic farmer's market vendor. When our farmer no longer has celery, he then has celeriac root in mid winter, so the soup is made with celeriac. Feel free to improvise with what ever vegetabes are available, it's all good.

The parsley is still in our garden (it's early November now) so there is something fom our own garden here.
