Celeriac Parsnip soup is both Vegan and Gluten Free, made super flavorful by the simple addition of a few herbs and spices.

Both celeriac and parsnip are used a lot in European cuisine, but non existent in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Even here in America, they are under used. Parsnips are a little more common than celery root/celeriac, which I usually have to go to an Eastern European market to find unless I want to pay the ridiculous prices at Whole Foods or other gourmet chains like Food Emporium. I’m lucky to have a large European market just 15 minutes from my house.

 

I like both of these vegetables a lot. If you grate celery root, you can make a delicious slaw with it, as long as you have a dressing that has some vinegar in it to soften it. It also makes a great mash when combined with potatoes.
Parsnip puree is absolutely delicious. Just boil until very soft and puree. Virtually no additional seasoning will be necessary because of the natural sweetness.

Here is a delicious soup with these two under used vegetables that is both vegan and gluten free. The creamy and luscious texture is achieved with the addition of coconut milk.

WOW – for someone whose not Vegetarian, I sure do make a lot of Vegetarian Soups, but it’s a great way to start a meal or have as a main course with crusty bread on #MeatlessMonday

Vegetable Soups also usually come together quick and easy so they are great when you are low on time! If you notice, most of my soups also include chickpeas or lentils, so you are not missing out on any protein with these Vegetarian Soups!
