- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound parsnips, peeled and diced
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and diced
- 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir garlic with the onion; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute more; add parsnips and carrots, stir, cover the saucepan with a lid, and cook until the parsnips and carrots begin to soften, about 5 minutes more.
- Pour vegetable broth into the saucepan; add ginger and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, place cover on the saucepan, reduce heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove lid and continue cooking until vegetables are completely tender, 10 to 15 minutes more.
- Working in batches, pour soup into a blender to fill bowl no more than halfway. Hold lid in place while pulsing the mixture a few times before leaving blender on to puree until smooth. Repeat blending until soup is entirely pureed. Season soup with salt and pepper.
