Dessert 1 Hr. 15 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 3 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 large apple - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1 large pear - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 2 large leeks, white parts only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 quart chicken stock
  • 1 (2 inch) sprig fresh rosemary

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Toss parsnips with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl; spread parsnips onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until slightly tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Toss apples and pears with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl. Push parsnips to one side of the baking sheet and spread apples and pears onto the other side of the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the oven until fruit is soft and caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir leeks in hot oil until leeks are soft, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle balsamic vinegar over leeks. Stir parsnips, apples, pears, chicken stock, and rosemary into leeks. Bring to a simmer and cook until fruits and vegetables are completely tender and easily mashed against the side of the pot, about 20 minutes.
  • Puree vegetable mixture using an immersion blender (or blend in batches in a blender) until soup has an applesauce-like consistency.
