Photo: Honey Roasted Parsnip Bisque Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 pounds parsnips, peeled and quartered lengthwise
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 teaspoons salt, divided
- 6 tablespoons honey, divided
- 6 cups water
- 1 bunch parsley
- 1 carrot, cut in 1/2
- 1 small onion
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 2 teaspoons white pepper
- 3 cups heavy cream
- Special Equipment: cheesecloth
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Toss the parsnips with the oil and 1 teaspoon of salt and drizzle with 3 tablespoons honey. Place on a baking sheet and put into the top half of the oven. Roast 30 minutes, or until the parsnips are a deep golden brown; they tend to burn easily so make sure to toss often while roasting.
Meanwhile, put the water into a large pot and place over high heat. Lay a double layer of cheesecloth on a flat surface and place the carrot, onion, parsley, bay leaves and peppercorns in the center. Tie the cheesecloth up and around the vegetable and herb mix and drop it into the water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove the parsnips from the oven and place them immediately into the stock. Add the remaining honey and salt and white pepper; simmer for about 20 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender, or in batches in a blender. Add the cream and cook for another 10 minutes or until thick.

This is excellent! All the flavors complement each other very well. A word of warning for those who do not like spicy..white pepper can be assertive so you may want to add a bit less.

This recipe came out great! It was quick and easy. As a habit I use half the salt, then add more if needed. I usually find FN recipes too salty. Also, I didn't have any honey so I used maple syrup. Good soup!

This soup is a tad too sweet for my liking; it is very tasty but I think 2 tablespoons of the honey may be omitted. I also topped it with Aarti Sequiera's parnip chips - I sliced the parsnip into discs and topped the soup with them. the garam masala and chilli goes so well with the sweetness of this soup.
