Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, add the parsnip, pears, garlic, onion, oil, salt, cardamom and pepper and toss until well coated.

Step 3

Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, and roast for 45-50 minutes, or until the parsnip are tender and browned on the edges.

Step 4

Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Add the vegetables and pears to a high-speed blender, in batches, with the broth and milk. Purée each batch until smooth. Pour batches of puréed soup into a large pot. Add in bay leaves and any additional salt and pepper to taste. Cover and let simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Step 5

While the soup is simmering, add the cooked edamame, oil, salt and garlic powder to a medium-sized bowl and stir until the edamame is well coated. Arrange edamame in a single layer on a baking sheet or air fryer rack. In the oven, roast on 400F for 35-40 minutes, and in the air fryer, roast on 350F for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Remove bay leaves from soup and serve immediately with crispy edamame.

Step 7

NOTES: You can peel the pears before roasting, or leave them on for added fibre. For a super smooth soup, you should peel the pears.

Step 8

If you use regular or low-sodium broth, you may wish to reduce the amount of salt you add to the recipe.

Step 9

You will want to blend the soup in 2-3 batches, depending on the size of your blender. Use caution as the veggies and pears may be hot.

Step 10

It will be easier to use a high speed blender to purée the soup, instead of an immersion blender.

Step 11

You can garnish the soup with store-bought crispy edamame. If you’re making your own crispy edamame to garnish the soup, be sure to enjoy the edamame immediately after roasting. If made ahead and stored in a container, they lose some of their crispness.
