I never seem to grow enough parsnips and I always say I must grow more. But by the time they germinate it’s too late to sow more. They don’t always germinate very well so I am always thrilled to get any👍😊

I have never tasted parsnips, but I love curry and this may spur me to double dig part of my garden in order to grow parsnips and carrots. I haven't had any luck growing root veg except in a bucket so far, but this year I'm determined!

I love all of your recipes Vivi!! I bought the Greek Vegetarian cookbook that you recommended. I’m moving this week so when I’m settled your parsnip soup and a Greek recipe will be on the menu!! Thanks and I wish you well after your hospital stay.

I love parsnips. I cut mine and roast them with some carrots tossed with olive oil, Italian herbs, a sprinkle of salt and a drizzle of honey. Yum. Will have to try the soup.

Parsnips are one of our favorites! My wife makes a parsnip stew that is more like a creamy chowder . TO...die.... for!!!

Definitely going to try this as i adore parsnipsxx

Vivi, I miss watching your videos since you are sick now so I have w er not back to watch others and comment so it helps you out. Go figure , the first one I land on and watch you are just getting over a cold in it.

Lovely video, Vivi. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and brightening a winter day here. It is wonderful to see you up on your feet and enjoying cooking your own soup again. I'll have to give this one a try with the little bit of parsnip I have left...my garden is so tiny that it didn't get to yield many of them this year but each one is a delicious treat. Hubby isn't a veg eater so they are mine, all mine. Now pumpkins, however...I have many of them still and if you have any future pumpkin recipes coming that would be awesome! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and keep healing brilliantly.

Just last week I wanted to make parsnip soup and thought, "I think Vivi posted a video on parsnip soup!"...Then, I couldn't find it. Maybe it was on Sean's channel? Idk but I took a run at it and it was wonderful! LOVE your soup recipes...your videos...and your uplifting spirit! Glad you're healing well and your cold is nearly over. Merry Christmas!!

This sounds delicious Vivi. Will definitely be trying this over the next few weeks x

Parsnips are created in heaven for those who don’t know how they taste. They are AMAZING! Only you would keep parsnips on the roof Vivi. 😄

Love parsnip soup, especially with the spices you have used.

Parsnips really take soup to another level.

Vivi, you are a treasure. I am making this right now... and every veg in it, I grew! First ever Parsnip - I dug it up today. I adore Parsnips! Some to freeze and some to eat tomorrow. Thank you for the recipe

ABSOLUTELY!! Roast your parsnip!! Best way to eat them! Also, my Nan used to do Turnip (or rutabaga whichever did better in her garden that year), carrots and parsnips, boiled then mashed with butter! DEE-vine!! Thank you for sharing this one! I'm eager to try it out! Maybe with some red Lentils I've still got in my food storage.

thank you vivi

Vivi, I'm so glad to see you recovering so quickly without any problems. Yes, just be extra careful with walking. We don't want any slip and falls. And yet we don't want to be so fearful that there's no adventure in your life. I suspect that's not going to happen. This is another recipe that made it to my homestead recipe page on my personal Blog. I really like your cooking soup recipes. They are all basic recipes without any exotic procedures or ingredients. Just good food. Thank you for sharing your soup knowledge with us. May you recovery continue to speed toward normal life. Have the best Christmas and New Year ever. Nebraska Dave

Hi Vivi, The soup looks yummy. Love all the new recipes I'm getting from you and some with veg I've never tried before your opening a whole new world of veggie's i wouldn't of tried before. Your going to have to make a lose weight soup or salad for me before long LOL but i'm loving every bit of it right now. Push then pull those parsnips *thank you* Sean. You took the words right out of my mouth when you said i like it hot but not so hot that i can't taste the food anymore.I'm know for saying that at work. Glad your feeling better and hope you can make it to the plot and enjoy every minute of it when you do. Thanks for sharing Vivi.

It looks so good. I can just imagine the wonderful smell of it.

Love parsnips! We make parsnip pattys at Christmas, fried in a pan with loads of butter Mmmmm... Happy solstice from British Columbia

Yum looking forward to the soup....didn't plant many so saving the last few for Christmas day but will be growing lots this coming year.

Glad to hear you're getting over your cold and almost ready for a walk to the plot. The soup looks delish. As others have said, check out Sean's last video on pushing and pulling the parsnips without digging...amazing.

Need to call Sean and get him to bring you some more veggies from your plot. Push the parsnip or carrot down and twist and then pull up the root crop. Ask Sean, he learned how to do that recently.

5am, you are using my favourite combination of spices now I'm hungry! Glad you are feeling better, can not believe it's been 3 weeks already! That looks beautiful🤗🤗🤗 have a great day😆

Looks lush Vivi - certainly going to give it a try. Don't forget - push your parsnips down before pulling them out of the ground!!

Wow. Nice one viv gonna try that. Your on the up. Steady away take good care

Hehehe I nearly dribbled towards the end, wrote down those spices so I don't forget lol. Loving the recipes, thank you, take care , and see you back at the plot soon. x

Hi Vivi. This was my 3rd year growing parsnips and it's so great to have them fresh out of the garden rather than the dried up ones from the grocery store. I've been enjoying them pureed straight or mashed with potatoes. Now I'm excited to try them in your soup! Are these recipes you show ones that you've developed yourself?

that soup looks divine, there's nothing better than spicy parsnip soup! :)

That soup looks truly yummy!

Hiya Vivi just having a peek into your playlist for some ideas for soups stews etc. This sounds yummy but as you know coriander is a love hate taste I prefer not but will replace with parsley perhaps or just omit. Love the health benefits. Blessings Luv Ontario Canada 🐝

A little dumpling would be amazing if left chunky but like you I like it smooth with a dribble of cream on top and maybe a little sprinkle of grated Parmesan 👍💜

Nice one Vivi. Just made a big pan of soup using your recipe as a base. I swapped out the potato for a little hooligan squash , lightly roasted with the parsnips. I held off with the chilli because I''ll be taking some round to my mum. Extra hot sauce to be added later! Now to bake some bread to with it. Happy Christmas to you and yours!

That soup will make you better pronto! I use that much garlic easily when I do my soups too. I love tons of garlic in my soups too. The turmeric and chili and garlic etc combo...that'll kick it's butt. I have no parsnips left so might have to go to the store. Not supposed to eat them right now but I can't avoid all carbs in veggies all the time. I feel like the veggies are out during the seasons we are supposed to have them and that's all part of nature's design so having a hard time avoiding carrots and parsnips and squash. nomnomnommmm. lol. I hope you feel all better soon. get in some protein. :)

Looks so yumm Viv :) thanku for sharing x

looks lovely well done

Right I am off to my plot to pull a few parsnips to make this today... glad your back to feeling like cooķing again.

Thanks Vivi, I made your pumpkin soup with the capsicum in it, was beautiful will be the only way I make pumpkin soup from now on. Summer here in Adelaide, South Australia but I will give it a go :)

ask Sean he picked some the other day and you do not need a fork just push the parsnip down then pull up blessing Vivi

Honey x get better x yum yum soup x🎄💕❤️❄️☃️⛄️👍🏼

I am happy to see you doing wonderful. That soup made me feel warm too. Take it easy see. Your little sister from Texas. By the way it's freezing here too. ❄️❄️

Vivi, glad you are feeling better. Can't wait to see you back on your plot. You have mentioned your curries and chilies a few times. Any chance you could show us how you make them?

I heard that butternut squash can be subbed for sweet potatoes...I don't know, but you could try it.

im getting my first allotment next week, i cant wait to start

Tell Sean going down plot x incase cats go crazy to see you x rusty Bessie x happy crimbo x🎄💕❤️❄️☃️⛄️👍🏼😻😻

Not related to parsnips, but adorable. hopefully. My son is 13months almost, and while I was able to put his big sister (who was delightfully average sized) in a sling to nurse while I did things around the house... he's just too big. So I sit and watch gardening videos! Today, he's decided that you can see him? Like skype with grandma? He keeps getting distracted from the matter at hand with giggling and waving so I think we'll sit here and rewatch a few more.

Yuuuum x

For some reason parsnips aren't much of a thing in the US. I've started seeing them in the store some recently but wasn't sure what they were like. I'll have to try some!

Good Morning from Pennsylvania, Wide awake and it’s not quite 4:00 am. What is there to do? How nice to watch you making parsnip soup. Like chatting with a friend. Thank you !

You won't need to use a fork to get more parsnips, lol! Just watch Sean's last video for a neat parsnip-harvesting tip!

Hiya Vivi I looked back on this as I commented a year ago question please what kind of paprika did you use? Thankyou Luv Ontario Canada 🐝🇨🇦

Just went out and bought some parsnips. I have seeds so will grow some next year based on how much I like your soup. Lol jk. ;p

i love cooking however retail really drains you and i suffer with depression/anxiety/autism as well so its wxtra tough. i need to make this soup if its good for fatigue. i'm always so tired and feel i could just sleep all the time and am still tired. have low vitamin d and b12 too so constant aches and pains

Viv I will get someone to post my phone number through your letter box.I drive and only live in a street where a certain hospice is.I could drop you at your allotment and pick you up again whilst I'm off doing things.

Has it really been 3 weeks since your op? Time is just flying by, isn't it? I swear you could make old shoe leather look and taste yummy by making it into one of your soups! Let's not try, though. ;-)
