Parsnip soup - the garnish recommended by Terry Pratchett for adding character to a beloved copy of "Good Omens"...
...has appeared in a couple of posts, first here and then, when @dduane decided to make some, here.
She didn't use any of the recipes I'd posted but literally cooked up something slightly different off the cuff, and it is (trending rapidly to was) delicious!
Full info on DD's blog here. It's not so much a recipe as an illustrated step-by-step.
*****
NB, that post doesn't mention, because her IBS meant she didn't include, the chopped half onion and two minced cloves of garlic sautéed in smoked-roast-bacon fat which I added to my batch. It's just fine without them, but IMO is even better with, if non-dodgy digestion permits.

Parsnips and carrots over here are, as her post says, all too often mashed, one of the great culinary non-delights of my childhood. They're frequently sold together for that purpose, either raw or pre-cooked...
...and it's a pleasure to find them specifically meant for roasting...
...though I can handle a peeler, a knife and a selection of seasonings well enough not to need to buy them like this.
The soup was sampled two ways, first in its basic form as roasted veggies and roasted smoked belly pork...
...cut into spoon-size pieces and simmered in a light but quite spicy broth (there was a fumble when shaking on the chillis!)
After that DD made flour-and-butter dumplings (Middle Kingdoms style) which absorbed some broth and made the soup a bit thicker.
Both, as I've already said, are - soon to be were - very good indeed.
10 / 10, will make again.

An 80-year-old Ukrainian woman bakes Paska for her grandchildren.
Paska is traditional Ukrainian sweet Easter bread.
The tradition exists in many parts of Central Eastern Europe, but each type of bread is slightly different.
