Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound prepared sliced leeks (2 cups)
- 1 pound parsnips, trimmed, peeled, and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
- 2 apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces

- 1 can (14.5 ounces) reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper
- Leek garnish (see below)
Directions
-
Heat butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add leeks (reserving 1/2 cup for garnish). Cook, stirring, 5 minutes.

Add parsnips, apples, potato, broth, and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until vegetables are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
-
Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until smooth. Return it to pot; stir in cream. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with Leek Garnish.
-
To make leek garnish, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. Add reserved 1/2 cup leeks; cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
very fast and nice not to creamy consistency, would make it again if I had parsnips and apples around, I forgot to add in the potato though it still tuned out yummy
Delicious! I chopped the veggies extra fine and skipped the puree step. Happened on a good deal on parsnips & leeks, happened to have the other ingredients on hand. Would absolutey make again.
