with lots of fresh, warm bread and cold butter. The tarragon drizzle transforms

this rather comforting, old-fashioned soup into something stylish and modern!

1. Put the oil in a large saucepan, heat gently, then add the onion, garlic, and

celery, and cook for 5 minutes without browning. Add the parsnips, rutabagas,

and carrots and cook for 3 minutes. Mix the bouillon powder with 1 1/2 quarts

boiling water and add to the vegetables. Add salt and pepper to taste, bring to

a boil, and simmer for 35 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

 

2. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Working in batches if necessary,

transfer the soup to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Alternatively, use a stick blender and blend in the saucepan.

 

3.To make the drizzle, put the tarragon in a bowl and add the lemon juice and

oil. Using a stick blender, blend until smooth. Reheat the soup as necessary.

Ladle the hot soup into bowls, add a swirl of tarragon drizzle, and serve.
