Thanks for this fantastic recipe! Just wanted to add that I use the green parts of the leek and the peels of the parsnip and pear to make the stock in a separate pot while everything else is sweating. This way i get all the flavor i can out of the fruits and vegetables before sending the scraps on to the chickens.

Oh nice! Last night I did a soup with pears, acorn squash and aduzki beans. Parsnips are however much easier to peel than acorn squash…

i think parsnips do not get their due share of recognition. they are delicious in so many ways. i would love to try this combination. the colour of the soup is glorious.

Oh yum! I would never think of combining pear and parsnip, but it sounds great!

Ricki,
This soup looks like a winner. I have never had pears and parsnips, but I’m tempted to try! Thanks.

A lovely soup Ricki. Thanks for sending this to our event. As the weather gets cooler, I am once again focusing on soups.

Okay I checked–it’s definitely 2 tbsp GF soy sauce! (or regular soy sauce if you’re not aiming for a GF recipe)

I think I’ll jump over to Holler’s site and vote for this soup! I would never eat a plain ol’ pear, but it seems perfect in this soup. AND it must be perfect for anyone’s diet.

Hi Ricki,
I didn’t get your googlemail email…it must be lost in cyberspace somewhere. Thanks for letting me know about the soy sauce error…oops!
In answer to your question, I’m pretty sure it’s 2 tbsp of Braggs soy sauce (I think other kinds contain a gluten-containing product in the colouring agents). However I am in Ottawa until tomorrow night so I’ll send you a definitive answer when I get back to Toronto, where the recipe is. I can’t imagine it being any more than 3 or less than 1 though. I’ll let you know!
