A wonderful and easy soup featuring the unique flavors of parsnip and pear, enhanced with Nelson Olive Oil Co's Black Garlic & Ginger infused Olive Oil. For added depth, consider tossing the veggies and pear in Madagascar Black Pepper Olive Oil before roasting. This creamy delight is perfect with a drizzle of cream (or cashew cream for a dairy-free option) and a touch of NOOC Black Garlic & Ginger Olive Oil, topped with finely chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
Toss peeled and chopped onion, parsnips and pear in the Madagascar Black Pepper Olive Oil in a large bowl and season generously with salt & pepper.
Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.
Pour stock into a large pot and bring to a boil, add roasted veggies and pear, then simmer covered over medium heat for 15 minutes.
Blend thoroughly with an immersion blender until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches using a countertop blender, ensuring the pot is cooled and only filled 3/4 full to prevent accidents.
Drizzle with cream and NOOC Black Garlic and Ginger Olive Oil, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
