Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 c sliced green onions about 1 large bunch
- 3 shallots, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
- 3 Parsnips, Peeled + Roughly Chopped
- 2 Potatoes, Peeled + Cubed
- 1 cup hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- 6 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth for vegetarian soup
- 1 cup half and half cream
- salt + pepper to taste I use ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, and add green onions, and shallots and sauté until translucent.
- Add garlic, thyme, hazelnuts, salt and pepper, and sauté, stirring for about 2 more minutes.
- Add parsnips, potatoes, and chicken broth and stir together well. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Once potatoes and parsnips are cooked through, remove from heat. Blend to desired consistency using an immersion blender. (See notes below to use a regular blender.)
- Stir in half and half and heat through. Serve while hot, garnishing with extra chopped herbs and hazelnuts.

Notes
- If you don't have an immersion blender, puree this in 2 batches in a regular blender and return to the pot. To do this, carefully pour the soup into the blender, remove the center of the lid and cover it with a tea towel while blending. It is important to use the tea towel cover so steam can safely escape while preventing hot soup from flying out.
