Roasted Parsnip, Leek, & Sunchoke Soup

Ingredients

3 medium to large parsnips
5-6 medium sunchokes
1 leek
1-2 cloves of garlic; depending on preference
2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
3 cups of water
1 vegetable bouillon cube (or no water and 3 cups of vegetable broth)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat parsnips in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes. Heat the second tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan on medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté for a few minutes, or until tender. Add garlic and cook for a few more minutes. Then, add vegetable broth, parsnips and sunchokes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender. Season with rosemary and thyme, then carefully puree to desired consistency using either a regular or immersion blender. If you desire, you may pour back into saucepan and simmer for a few more minutes to serve hot.

We discovered Frith Farm almost a year ago when we first ordered a tray of eggs followed by some spinach. The produce is always of really high standard and we love the fact it is all chemical free and local, literally "plot to plate"
