Ingredients

2	pounds	parsnips	peeled and woody core removed
2	each	pears	peeled and cut into eighths
1	each	yellow onion	small, peeled and cut into eighths
1	tablespoon	canola oil
1	teaspoon	salt	divided
1/4	teaspoon	black pepper	freshly ground
1	cup	balsamic vinegar
2 1/2	cups	broth	vegetable
2	cups	milk, low-fat

Directions

Position rack in lower third of oven, preheat to 450°F.

Toss parsnips, pears, onion, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a roasting pan.

Roast, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes, until very soft and starting to brown, 40 to 42 minutes.

Meanwhile, boil balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan until syrupy and reduced to about 1/4 cup, 10 to 14 minutes. (Watch the syrup carefully during the last few minutes of reducing to prevent burning.)

Remove from the heat.

Puree half of the parsnip mixture with vegetable broth in a blender until very smooth, transfer to a large saucepan.

Puree the other half with milk until very smooth.

Add to the saucepan and stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Reheat the soup over medium heat, stirring often, about 5 minutes.

Gently reheat the balsamic syrup if it has become thicker than syrup while standing.

Ladle the soup into bowls and drizzle with the balsamic syrup.

Serve warm.

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.

Black Bean Patties

These are quick to make and great for using up leftover rice, quinoa, barley, or other grains. And the cumin really adds the perfect touch of flavor (although I do add some salt). I make these as an accompaniment to squash soup or other cream-based soup...perfect for harvest time. I really enjoy simple food, and these are perfect. My kids enjoy them too...they say they look like chocolate chip cookies and like them dipped in ketchup.
