PARSNIP AND CARROT SOUP WITH TARRAGON
A fragrant soup that lets the flavor of the vegetables shine through. Parsnips contribute sweetness and texture to this fragrant soup. I used water, not stock, and the flavor of the vegetables shines through.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat and add the onion, leek and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, parsnips and a generous pinch of salt, cover partially and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant. Add the potatoes, water or stock, salt to taste, and the bouquet garni. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender and the soup is fragrant. Remove and discard the bouquet garni.
- Blend the soup in batches in a blender (cover the top with a towel and hold it down to avoid hot splashes), or through a food mill fitted with the fine blade. The soup should be very smooth. Return to the pot. Stir and taste. Adjust salt, add freshly ground pepper, and heat through. Serve in small bowls or espresso cups with a drizzle of yogurt swirled over the top and a sprinkling of tarragon.

Steps:
- Melt the olive oil and butter together in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the raw bell peppers, carrots, onion, shallots and pear. Reduce the heat to low, and cook the vegetables for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring often until very soft. Add the garlic, and cook for several minutes longer, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
- Add the broth, roasted peppers, crushed red pepper, cayenne pepper, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to the saucepan, and stir to mix. Bring the broth to a low boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the soup for about 30 minutes. Cool slightly.
- Working in batches if necessary, pour the soup into the bowl of a food processor or the jar of a blender fitted with a metal blade, and puree until smooth. (Or puree the soup directly in the pot using an immersion blender.) Pour the soup back into the pot in which you cooked it. Stir in the tarragon, season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve hot or chilled. This soup, refrigerated in an airtight container, will keep for several days. It also freezes well.
