Makes about 10 cups
3½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2½ pounds parsnips, cut into 1-inch rounds
¼ teaspoon sea or kosher salt
2 small shallots, minced (about 1 cup)
2 medium apples, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup white wine
5 cups vegetable stock, hot

Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a mixing bowl, toss together 1½ tablespoons olive oil, parsnips, and salt. Place on a foil-
lined baking tray; roast for 30 to 35 minutes, or until parsnips are tender and golden, being
sure not to brown them too much.

translucent. Add the apples; cover and cook until apples are softened, about 8 minutes.

almost completely evaporated. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let
