Carrot-Parsnip Ginger-Lime Soup

Comforting and creamy Carrot-Parsnip Ginger-Lime Soup needs to grace your table this Fall and Winter season. It makes the perfect appetizer or starter course, but is filling enough as a main dish. You are going to love the zing of the lime juice in this one.

Carrot Parsnip Ginger Lime Soup makes a great meal

This soup needs to be on everyone’s table this holiday season.

If parsnips are not something you regularly eat, you really need to add them into your meals. They are amazing in soup and equally fantastic when roasted with salt and pepper. They are honestly my favorite root vegetable.

It’s hard to imagine that these bleak looking ingredients make up the body of this soup; carrots, parsnips and ginger root.

    This soup is almost indescribably sublime. Its creamy texture, the sweetness of the root vegetables, the tang of the lime, and subtle spiciness of the cayenne & black peppers blend together into culinary heaven. It’s now our family of three’s favorite soup by far, and just yesterday, a guest who doesn’t “like ginger” flipped over it. I substitute Imagine Food’s delicious Vegetarian No-Chicken Broth to make the soup vegetarian, and double the recipe so there will be enough for everyone to have seconds, for friends to try, for leftovers. Still, it’s usually gone in two days. I may have to start tripling that recipe!

    • Hmmm..that’s a tough one because it’s hard to replace the mouthfeel of heavy cream with anything that’s flavorless..which is what makes this recipe so delicious and satisfying. You could try unsweetened coconut milk, but it will change the flavor.
