Crockpotcarrotandparsnipsoup Recipes

Steps:

• Peel carrots and parsnips and cut up coarsely.
• Chop onion and place in bowl with butter and garlic; microwave on high for 5 minutes and set aside.
• In crock pot place parsnips, carrots, broth or water, the onion mixture and cover and cook high 6 to 8 hours or until vegetables tender.
• Puree with hand blender or remove and puree in batches.
• Season to taste. Stir in desired amount of cream to color and flavor soup.
• Serve hot. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Steps:

• Heat a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and render until crisp. Remove the bacon, finely chop and reserve for later use. Spoon off all but a few tablespoons of the smoky drippings. Melt the butter into the drippings and reduce the heat a bit. Add the potatoes and stir to coat. Add the garlic, parsnips, onions, some black pepper and nutmeg. Add the parsley, then partially cover the pot and cook to soften, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally; the color of the veg should be light golden. Remove the parsley. Puree the vegetables with the stock (in batches if necessary) in a food processor or blender, or add the stock to the soup pot and use an immersion blender. Stir in the reserved bacon bits then season the soup with salt.
• Cool the soup and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium-high heat and add in the cream. Serve in shallow bowls with chives to garnish, and buttered rolls to dunk.
• Place the chicken in a pot over a bed of bay leaves, garlic, celery, parsley, carrots and onions. Sprinkle with salt and fill the pot with water to cover the chicken. Sprinkle in a few peppercorns. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook 45 minutes, turning occasionally. Turn off the heat and cool the chicken in the broth. Separate the meat from the bones and skin. Reserve the meat and discard the bones and skin. Strain the stock.

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until golden, about 15 minutes. Add carrots and parsnips and cook 10 minutes. Add 2 cans of broth, potatoes, parsley and thyme. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
• Puree half of soup in processor. Mix puree into remaining soup in pot. Stir in half and half and Sherry. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Bring soup to simmer, thinning with additional broth, if desired. Ladle into bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Finely dice the onion
• Chop the parsnip and carrot into small chunks
• Melt the butter in a saucepan with a little olive oil (to stop the butter burning)
• Sweat the onion for 10 mins over a low heat. Do not let the onion brown. It should take on a translucent look
• Add the chopped parsnips and carrot
• Pour on the vegetable stock (or water and 2 knorr cubes)
• Bring to the boil and leave to simmer for 30 mins.
• When the parsnips and carrots are completely soft, remove from heat and allow to cool
• Pour the cooled mixture into a liquidizer and liquidize until completely smooth
• Pour the mixture into a clean saucepan, passing it through a sieve first. Use the back of a spoon to push the last of the mixture through. This will create an even smoother soup.
• Serve with a sprinkling of croutons and/or fried lardons. You can also use chopped pieces of bacon.

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add chopped parsnip, water, carrot and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 50 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes
• Place half of carrot mixture in a blender; process until smooth. Pour pureed carrot mixture in a large bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining carrot mixture. Stir in salt and pepper.
• Heat remaining 5 teaspoons oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add parsnip slices; cook 5 minutes or until lightly browned, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle parsnip chips and chives over soup.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring often to cook evenly.
• Put the potatoes, carrots, garlic, and herbs in the slow cooker; add the onions and oil, scraping them out of the pan. Add enough of the water or broth to cover everything. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour.
• Turn the cooker to LOW and cook until the vegetables are soft, 5 to 7 hours. Puree in batches in a food processor or right in the slow cooker with a handheld immersion blender; the soup will be nice and thick. Stir in the honey and grate the nutmeg right over the crock. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm on LOW without letting it come to a boil until serving. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Cut carrots and parsnips into 2-inch matchsticks about 1/4-inch thick. Toss with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss again. Spread carrots and parsnips in a 10x15-inch baking dish.
• Roast in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, until browned, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Combine butter, shallot, chives, rosemary, thyme, and garlic in a small bowl. Add to hot vegetables and toss to coat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan or a baking dish with parchment or foil. Toss vegetables, including garlic cloves, with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spread in baking dish or on sheet pan in an even layer and place in oven. Set timer for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, stir vegetables and turn heat down to 400 degrees. Roast for another 20 to 30 minutes (or longer; I have found every oven I've used to be different, thus the range), or until very tender and caramelized on the edges, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. You should have about 4 cups roasted vegetables.
• Hold garlic cloves with a towel so that you don't burn your fingers. Squeeze out the pulp into a blender. Add half the vegetables and 2 cups of the stock. Cover the top of the blender with a towel pulled down tight, rather than airtight with the lid, because hot mixture will jump and push the top off if the blender is closed airtight. Blend until smooth and transfer to a soup pot. Repeat with the second half of the roasted vegetables. Transfer to the pot and whisk in remaining broth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and heat through. Serve each bowl with a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs and if you wish, a swirl of crème fraîche or yogurt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake until the vegetables are tender, 40-45 minutes. Uncover and bake until cream has thickened and is beginning to turn golden brown, 10-15 minutes longer. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Cook, covered, until parsnips are tender, 3 hours. If desired, top with additional minced rosemary and cracked pepper.
