Soup

I made a soup tonight. It's a combination soup, meaning it's two soups served together. One is a roasted parsnip soup, and the other is a roasted butternut squash soup. I got the recipe from foodnetwork.com. It tastes great and not very difficult to make. I definitely recommend it.
Here are some pictures of the adventure:



I started taking pictures after the butternut squash soup was finished so there won't be any pictures of the process.


Here are the roasted parsnips. They were coated in a little olive oil, salt and pepper before roasting.


These are the various vegetables that go into the parsnip soup along with some ham. The butternut squash soup has Italian sausage in it instead of ham.


Getting a good sweat out of everything. Also, the fat from the meat was rendered in a small amount of olive oil prior to sweating the vegetables.


About two teaspoons of vinegar were used to deglaze the bottom of the pan.


Skipped a few steps to the end of the parsnip soup.


This is the finished product.

  2. Yes, you must remove the sausage from the casing.
