This easy, creamy parsnip soup is made extra-filling with the addition of chunky croûtons. Start with the basic 4-ingredient recipe, and take it from there. Add the gruyère if you want a touch of luxury, or try adding some cooked ham hock or crisp fried bacon. For this recipe you will need a blender.
