Comfort Soup!

One of our families favorite soups is the parsnip/potato/apple soup. We use all organic ingredients. Served with steamed kale. Nutritionally packed! Potatoes are PACKED with nutrition. Minerals, choline (brain food), Parsnips add an interesting flavor, Folate, minerals, healthy carbs. Apples add natural sweetness, vitamins and fiber. Butter and cream. Butter has lots of Omega 6, vitamin A, and unlike margarine is one ingredient, low process, non hydrogenated. Cream is wholesome fat! It's full of fatty acids. It has protein. And it makes things taste good in a natural way. To serve it, we steam some kale, spinach is also good in it too. Putting the soup in the bowl, then placing the greens in it. These really round the soup out, adding vitamins A, C and E, antioxidants, and minerals.

I use the chicken stock that I make from the last whole chicken I've made. This is such a nutritious addition to this soup. I simmer the potatoes, parsnips and apples in the broth with on onion. then puree it up with a little butter and cream. Takes about 40 minutes from cutting to pureeing and done.

Makes 12 cups of soup plus the kale. Which is about 6-8 servings. About $1.25 per serving. Mmm. Get a baguette to seal the deal will add another $0.30 per serving.
