What would be more homey and comforting than a warm bowl of soup on chilly autumn or winter nights? Root vegetables, like carrots and parsnips, lend their complementary, slightly sweet flavors to this easy soup recipe. Cumin really brings out the flavor of the sweet carrots and peppery parsnips while parsley gives a fresh pop of flavor on top. Tip: As parsnip can taste a bit bland, don’t skip the seasoning step!
