Parsnips: One of my favorite roots. In this delicious soup, not only does the parsnip not get discarded after cooking, it is indeed the co-star of the show, all the way up there with the apple: What a match! Short, sweet and dazzling ingredient list. Sage and apples: A real celebration of winter flavors, and a perfect showcase for Cooking with fruit. It is naturally low-carb and gluten-free.

1 large onion, quartered
