I just made this and all I can say is I guess I don't like parsnips! Ewwww

The parsnip soup sounds yummy - will have to try it when Australia gets to winter.

Why, oh why doesn't Luci have her hair tied/clipped back - she could get stray hairs in the soup!

This soup sounds like it's right up my alley... love curries. I often make a very similar soup, but use a mix of carrots, parsnips and some sweet potato with a handful of red lentils. I'll be cooking this one up as soon as I get some more parsnips.

Also, it keeps well in the fridge for a few days... add the sour cream (or yogurt) AFTER it is reheated.

I though Dr. Mercola finds stainless steel unsuitable for cooking? Confusion............

Why do the Brits and Irish liquefy all their soups? I don't like that.

I used to love parsnips but have read in more than one source that they are a carcinogen. Anyone know the story on this?

I thought Mercola advised to not eat anything that grows under ground - roots, carrots, etc. I'm ocnfused.

The soup sounds good. I'm tempted to add a little whole milk or cream to it as well.

At $16.00/lb for raw butter and over $4.00 per quart for raw milk to make sour cream, yogurt etc., I had to cut food costs when cooking raw and organic. If the recipe raises the temperature of the food above pasteurization temperature such as this soup which simmers 30 minutes, I use organic but not raw milk, sour cream, butter, etc.; not from Horizon, however, who is being challenged for claiming to be organic but not using the proper organic standards. I save the raw dairy for lower temperature cooking or uncooked foods.

Also, is there any advantage to using cultured organic butter over just organic butter?

OMG! Made this soup tonight, it is heavenly. I think I'm addicted to it. Where has it been all my life?

Luci says, "larger parsnips are tougher and not as sweet."

Overwintering in the ground dramatically increases the sugar content of parsnips. Parsnips are never harvested in fall - they have to freeze!

Of course you have no control over this unless you grow your own....

I will try this. Being a protein type, I think I'll throw in some uncured lean bacon to the mix. Mmmmm, sour cream...butter...curry...how can one go wrong?
