Curried Parsnip Soup

The months of frost bring parsnip season! parsnips are native to the Silk Road region and have been eaten there since antiquity. When cooked, their buttery, slightly spicy, sweet flavor offers undertones of honey—with a subtle taste of cardamom. Combine this complex flavor profile with the aromatic bite of curry powder, ginger and a hint of cinnamon and you’ve got a soup that is perfect for those cold winter months.
