This can be a harvest in itself! If you let this simmer on the stove all day, by dinnertime they'll be drooling just from the aroma. Better keep a close eye on the pot, though, 'cause otherwise there may not be any soup left for supper!
What You'll Need
- 3 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 5 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 large parsnip, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 medium potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon dried dill (see Note)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
What to Do
- In a soup pot, bring the chicken broth, carrots, parsnip, potato, and onion to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Remove from the heat and mash.
- Add the milk, dill, and pepper; mix well and cook over medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until heated through.
Notes
If I've got some fresh dill, I like to chop about 1 tablespoon of it for the soup (instead of the dried dill) and sprinkle some more over each serving.
