For this version, we combine onions together with root vegetables, broth, cream, salt, and fresh thyme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ghee<\/strong> is a type of clarified butter popular in traditional Indian cookery. It has a sweet, nutty flavor and is an excellent cooking fat. When produced from the cream of grass-fed cows, it's also rich in vitamins A and K as well as healthy fats such as conjugated linoleic acid (1). <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onion<\/strong> is a member of the allium family which also includes leeks, chives, and garlic. It gives the soup a savory sweetness. It's also a rich source of quercetin, a powerful plant nutrient that combats inflammation (2).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thyme<\/strong> is a plant in mint family. It's tiny little leaves can bring an herbal flavor to soups and stews, and it partners well with root vegetables.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Celeriac<\/strong> (also known as celery root) tastes strongly of celery and is both a root vegetable and an aromatic vegetable.  It is commonly used across North Europe during winter where it often makes an appearance in soup. It is a good source of micronutrients including phosphorus, vitamin B6, and potassium (3).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carrots<\/strong> give the soup sweetness, and they're also both affordable and easy to find in almost every grocery store. Carrots are rich in phytonutrients that fight inflammation and support cellular health (4).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Parsnips<\/strong> are a root vegetable in the carrot family. Like carrots, they taste sweet with a subtle herbal note reminiscent of parsley to which they're also related. Parsnips are rich in fiber, manganese, and folate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Turnips<\/strong> are a member of the brassica family and are botanically related to broccoli, cabbage, and mustard. They're rich in potassium, manganese, and folate. They also contain beneficial sulfur-containing compounds found in other brassicas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bone broth<\/strong> is a good source of protein in the form of gelatin, and it lends a savory note to the soup.  <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/fresh-chicken-broth\/\">Chicken broth<\/a>, made from the whole chicken and not just the bones, is a good substitute.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cream<\/strong> gives the soup a luxurious richness, and adding it at the very end of cooking brings all the other ingredients together in a smooth, velvety pur\u00e9e.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tips-for-making-root-vegetable-soup\">Tips for making root vegetable soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Making root vegetable soup is just as easy as making most other <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/soup-recipes\/\">soups<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/stew-recipes\/\">stews<\/a>. You start first by saut\u00e9ing or sweating your aromatic vegetables, such as onions, with fat or oil and a little bit of salt. Once they're fragrant and cooked through, you'll add the root vegetables which form the bulk of the soup. Celeriac, parsnips, carrots, and turnips, then simmer in a savory broth along with fresh thyme. To finish it off, you'll pur\u00e9e the soup and stir in a bit of cream which gives it a velvety texture and luxurious quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>While soup-making is easy, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces<\/strong>. They should all be roughly the same size so they cook at the same rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cook the onion down until deeply fragrant and translucent<\/strong>. If the onion remains raw or only partially cooked before you add the vegetables, it can give the soup a sharp flavor rather than a savory sweetness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cook the root vegetables until tender (but not completely soft)<\/strong>. If you overcook root vegetables, they'll develop an unpleasant, overly sweet flavor that's similar to canned vegetables. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add the cream at the very end of cooking<\/strong>. This will prevent the cream from overcooking or the chance that it might curdle with prolonged cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjust the ingredients depending on what you enjoy<\/strong>. This recipe is super flexible, as long as you keep the ratios roughly the same. The carrots, parsnips celeriac and turnips can be swapped for any other root vegetable as long as you use rough 2 to 2 \u00bd pounds of vegetables. You can also swap the thyme for other herbs easily, too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-27703\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"27703\"

Then, swap the thyme for a tablespoon of curry powder which plays well with coconut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Try other root vegetables<\/strong> (or a combination of them) such as beets and rutabaga. The key is to keep the total amount of root vegetables to about 2 to 2 \u00bd pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Try leeks in place of onion<\/strong>. Leeks have a soft, sweet flavor that works well with root vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Swap out the herbs<\/strong>. While thyme works beautifully with root vegetables, other herbs work well, too.  Marjoram, rosemary, parsley, and tarragon each provide a delicious element to the soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Try spices instead of herbs<\/strong>. Instead of thyme, you could also add warming spices to the soup. Cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, and juniper each add a nice element to the soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Swap sour cream for the heavy cream<\/strong>. The acidity of sour cream or cr\u00e8me fraiche brings a nice balance to the earthy, sweet flavor of root vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Roast the vegetables first<\/strong>. For a roasted root vegetable soup, consider roasting the vegetables at 400 F for about 20 minutes or until they begin to darken. You can cut the simmer time of the soup down to about 5 to 10 minutes since roasting not only caramelizes the vegetables, but also cooks them until soft, too.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-autumn-and-winter-vegetable-recipes\">More autumn and winter vegetable recipes<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class='feast-category-index  feast-recipe-index'><ul class=\"fsri-list feast-grid-half feast-desktop-grid-fourth\"><li class=\"listing-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/lentil-stew\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/lentil-stew-post-360x480.jpg\" class=\"feast_3x4_thumbnail fsri-image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Two bowls of lentil stew on a white surface.
