Cream soup of parsnips and carrots

8 servings

60 minutes

Parsnip and carrot cream soup is an exquisite dish of French cuisine, filled with refined aromas and a delicate texture. Its roots trace back to the traditions of European chefs who appreciate the combination of sweet parsnip and rich carrot. Roasting the vegetables reveals their natural sweetness and adds a light caramel note. This soup is perfect for warming autumn and winter evenings, has a velvety consistency, and pairs wonderfully with crispy toasts or cheese croutons. Its flavor is soft, sweet, with subtle woody notes of parsnip balanced by a light spiciness from pepper.
