Apple Parsnip Soup

Submitted by MasterZaar

"This is an *AMAZING* recipe. Capable of being formal, good for the family, and kids love it. Serves well both hot and cold. Yes, I know the title sounds odd, but it is actually a great combination. You might want to serve it with a dollop of yogurt, and you also might want to add a bit more lemon juice than the recipe calls for. ALSO: Be sure not to forget to whiz it up at the end - it"
