Roasted Parsnip and Pear Soup

Fairly nice, my husband made this soup yesterday, it was delicious, roasted pears and parsnips with low-fat milk and our homemade vegetable broth, and the balsamic vinegar after boiling it was tasty, drizzling on top of the soup, the flavor was so great. An excellent recipe.
