Creamy Parsley Root Soup
This recipe is brought to you courtesy of our customer Sophie Leal. Thank you Sophie!
But first - what is a parsley root ?
The parsley root is slightly more slender than the parsnip. Like the parsnip, the parsley root is a pale colour and similar to the carrot in appearance. Parsley root’s taste is as a combination of “celeraic and carrot with hints of celery, turnip and parsley leaf.” This would also be delicious topped with a drizzle more creme fraiche, some toasted nuts, fried sage or truffle oil! Enjoy.
