Good To Know

Root vegetable purées can sometimes get thicker than intended, so if your finished soup is thicker than desired, just add in a bit more broth.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°.

For the soup, toss carrots, parsnips, and onions with 6 tsp. (2 Tbsp.) oil, season with salt and pepper, and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast vegetables 20 minutes.

Toss apple with remaining 1 tsp. oil, then stir into vegetables; roast another 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Transfer roasted vegetables and apple to a pot.

Add broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer soup 10 minutes.

Off heat, purée soup with a handheld or standard blender. Season soup with salt and pepper.

For the garnish, heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high. Fry sliced carrots and parsnips until starting to brown and crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt.

Garnish servings of soup with carrot and parsnip chips.

Step 1

The vegetables take longer to cook than the apple. Partially roast them before adding the apple.

Step 2

Use a handheld blender to purée the soup, if you have one. It’s more convenient and is less messy.

Step 3

Drain the carrot and parsnip chips on a paper-towel-lined plate to ensure they stay crisp.
