This hearty veggie soup has a wonderful mild, sweet flavor—the secret is the parsnip. It takes only 45 minutes to prepare and it's very inexpensive. Don't believe it if you hear that eating healthy is expensive... not true!

Make sure you don't overcook this soup. It's goodness is in the firm, almost crunchy veggies. Cook it up and leave a comment to let me know what you think.

Get on the Healthy Journey!

  3. I love the selection of vegetables in this soup, especially the broccoli which you don't normally see whole in soup. Thanks for sharing this with Sunday Night Soup Night! Look forward to seeing you next time.
