Another One
Creamy Winter Vegetable Soup
2 tsp. olive oil
1 large onion, diced
4 stalks celery, sliced
3 medium carrots, sliced
1 large parsnip, diced
1 small chunk calabaza squash, diced
2 small white turnips, diced
1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced
5 cloves garlic, crushed
1" chunk ginger root
5 cups water
1 Tbsp. vegetable base
1-1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. dried dill
1/2 cup heavy cream
Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add all vegetables in the order they appear on the list, with a few pinches of salt. Saute for a few minutes, then add garlic, ginger, and water. Bring to a boil. Stir in base, cumin, coriander, dill, and a few ample grindings of pepper; reduce heat to a strong simmer, and let cook until vegetables are quite soft. Remove ginger.
Puree half the soup using an immersion blender. Stir in the cream, and adjust seasonings to taste.
This soup was pretty tasty! I will make again. Perhaps next time I will omit the cumin, coriander, and dill; in their place I will try adding cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of honey or maple syrup.
