Root vegetables such as parsley and parsnip are probably the most underrated vegetables. They are not only suitable as part of soup vegetables but deserve to be the main ingredient themselves! Parsley root is not only very aromatic and well saturating, its ingredients also are said to have an immune-enhancing and antimicrobial effect, which can reduce the susceptibility to infection in the winter. If you want to upgrade the taste and vitamin content of this soup add a half chopped apple!
