do you ever read something and think about it for years afterwards? almost four years ago, smitten kitchen wrote about her relationship with leafy greens. she talked about how she always thought she’d grow up to be the kind of person who loved them. but she isn’t. and that blog post stuck with me. because i’m a healthy cook and eater (despite my love for baked goods). and i always want to like leafy greens.
a few weeks ago, i shared a soup that featured parsnips. before making the soup, i had never purchased (and maybe never even eaten?) parsnips. but ever since making that soup, i’ve been hooked on them. parsnips are kinda creamy, taste like slightly-earthier carrots, and are my new favorite winter veg.
as promised, here’s some delicious, vegetable-laden soup to help you start off the new year.
