A vegan soup with parsnips has been missing in my collection. I’ve always liked to hide the root vegetable in stews, though never made my own recipe with it. Today I put an end to that and present my super-creamy parsnip soup. The weather leaves much to be desired at the moment and I would love to wrap myself in a thick blanket all day. Cold, rainy and uncomfortable, where is the golden October please? That’s why I’m really into warmth from within right now, and my favorite way to do that is with soups, stews, and casseroles. They are just perfect for the cold season and warm from the inside. Well, do you feel like it? Then let’s get started!
Creamy vegan parsnip soup
As always, our soup today is made quickly and is enhanced with a little something extra. I’m sure you’re not necessarily guessing bourbon vanilla, but that’s exactly our twist. Otherwise, our ingredient list is small and manageable with potatoes, onion, parsnips, vegetable broth, garlic granules, pepper, salt, thyme and vanilla. That’s all. Simple, quick and delicious, just the way I like it.
If you like, you can add oat cream or coconut milk to your soup. This makes it even creamier and gives the final touch. If you like to work with cashews, skim ⅓ of the soup and put it in the blender with soaked cashews. Blend once until creamy, add back to the rest of the soup and the autumnal dish is ready.
Tip: If is some older bread at home, I like to cut it into cubes and toast it in a little olive oil. Just add it on top of the soup and enjoy the homemade croutons.
How healthy are parsnips actually?
Parsnips belong to the so-called root vegetables and was displaced by the popular potato for a long time. If you take a closer look, then parsnip should definitely be included in the menu.
- Low calorie with 59 kcal/100g
- Rich in potassium, folic acid and vitamin C
- Rich in fiber, especially in pectin (soluble fiber) = supports intestinal activity, serves as detoxifier and food for the good intestinal bacteria
- The essentials contained provide the intense spicy flavor and have a mild antibacterial effect.
TIP: Sometimes it’s a little hard to tell parsnip from parsley root, especially if it’s not labeled in stores. Parsnips are quite a bit longer than parsley roots, which are about 20 cm long and rather narrow in shape.
The smaller, the finer! This is definitely true for the parsley root as well as for the parsnip. The smaller roots are characterized by more intense aroma and flavor. Hands off dull and wrinkled skin, because this is a sign of improper storage. In the refrigerator, the tubers will keep in the crisper for up to 10 days.
What else is important in the preparation of the soup?
- The addition of potatoes makes the soup even creamier and more creamy.
- If the soup is too creamy for you, thin it with vegetable broth to taste.
- When pureeing, it also comes down to your personal preferences. I like to have a few more pieces in the soup. That’s why I always puree only a portion (about 2/3 of the soup) in a high-powered blender. You can also use a magic wand, but then the soup will not be as super fine as with a high-powered blender.
- If you like the parsnip soup very thick, then I recommend cooking and reheating with the lid closed. Due to the puree-like consistency, it can easily splatter during cooking.
- Don’t worry, the vanilla is not dominant, but provides a small but subtle extra flavor.
If it can’t be parsnip soup today, then I recommend my potato leek soup, mung dal soup, gazpacho or carrot soup for every day.
