Once a staple food, now almost forgotten: parsnips have a very special taste. Where does the fine aroma come out best? In a classic parsnip soup – and we’ll show you the right recipe!

What the potato is today, the parsnip was once. The white root vegetable was an integral part of German cuisine for a long time. Nowadays, the former star lives a rather secluded life. Displaced by potatoes and international types of vegetables, the parsnip hardly ends up on the plate, especially among the younger generation.

In terms of taste, the parsnip is somewhere between carrot and potato. It’s slightly sweet and a bit nutty. Carbohydrates make the vegetable an ideal filler. The parsnip does not have to hide behind other vegetables in terms of its nutrient content either, it contains a lot of potassium, phosphoric acid, and vitamins E and C.

Parsnips can be used in many different ways in the kitchen – as a side dish or as the basis for a stew. A classic is the parsnip soup. And because of its special aroma, it can not only be processed in the classic way, but also refined with special flavors such as walnuts and pears, which give the soup a subtle sweetness and underline the nutty taste. Just try it yourself!
