  • 6 cloves garlic or 2-3 tablespoons jarred garlic chopped
  • 1 pound parsnips (about 4) peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 6 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • One (15-ounce) can white beans (e.g., cannellini, navy, or Great Northern) drained and rinsed
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss together parsnips, onion, garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Roast for 45-60 minutes, until garlic and parsnips are fork tender and golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a blender, add half of the roasted vegetables, broth, lemon juice, and beans and puree until smooth. If mixture is too thick, add water or broth to thin it. Transfer to a large pot.
  3. Add the remaining half of the ingredients to the blender and puree. Transfer to pot.
  4. Heat pot on medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the bottom from scorching. Serve hot.
