Patrick's Parsnip Soup

This is from one of my opera-monkey pals!! Thank you Patrick!


‎2 leeks chopped, sauté in 2tbs of olive oil with a good sized nub of Ginger (I grate it in, but it can n chopped). Then add one small potato chopped and a good amount of peeled and chopped parsnips (I used about Seven). Cook about 7 min. Then add a good cup of white wine and two cups of stock (chicken or vege) and a cup of water. Cook on medium about 20 min until parsnips are tender (I also chop up a carrot to add color). Ad salt and pepper to taste and add if you have it a teasp of tumeric for yellow color. Pit into blender and puree! I serve with a dollop of plain yogurt and some spicy-roasted cashews. YUM!!
