This was wonderful! I actually cheated and just threw all the ingredients into the pot and boiled them together for about 35 minutes to perfection. I did add extra water and some general no salt seasoning. I also subbed out kholrabi for the parsnip and potato - they were wonderful in here and I think that any of the turnip family would be a great addition to this "stew" type soup. Thanks for sharing!!!
