I just made this and it's wonderful- very delicate flavours and a little spicy. Here is how you make it:
Creamy Parsnip Soup with Pine Nuts and Sun-Dried Tomatoes:
2 cups shredded parsnips1/4 cup of pine nuts
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh garlic (very small piece)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground mustard seeds
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground chilli powder
4 cups *hot water *(either hot water from the tap, or water heated to less than 118 degrees in a pot, so the soup will remain raw and retain all of the enzymes and vitamins. You can, of course, cook the soup, but don't add it to the blender hot of you will have a big mess on your hands... blenders don't like hot hot soup).
1. Mix the above ingredients in the blender until smooth and creamy.
2. Shred another cup of parsnips to add to the soup when you are ready to serve it.
3. Cut up a several pieces of sun-dried tomatoes to top it off.
4. Take a spoon and drizzle olive oil or chilli oil over each bowl to make it look pretty.

Oooh. I love parsnips, but have never eaten them raw. This looks good!
this is simply and true ♥ >>> 4ever
Going to the grocery store in 4 days (payday) and will be picking up parsnips to make this. Looking forward in trying it.
Be very careful putting 4 cups of hot water in a blender, especially with the other ingredients. The lid will blow and you may get burned, and will, at the very least, have a mess. This recipe needs to be better explained. It can also be much better-made in a soup pot. By heating the ingredients and then adding 4 cups of cold water to the pot, you will create a more flavorful soup. You only need to simmer it partially covered for an hour on low heat. Stir occasionally.
Then blend the contents in small batches in your blender, making certain to hold the lid of the blender down with a dsh towel. Do not fill the blender to the top. You can also use an immersion blender directly in the soup pot. This is a delicious soup served hot, especially in autumn and winter.
Hi there! I meant that this was a raw soup (retaining all the enzymes and vitamins), and by hot water I meant hot water from the tap, or filtered water heated below 118 degrees and then added. Yes, if you boil water and put it into a blender it is a very bad idea. I was assuming too much here, so I apologize.
