Parsley Soup

“It’s So Healthy – But What Can I Do With It??” Parsley Soup Recipe

Shared by Dan & Vicky Fox

1. Wash parsley really, really well to rid it of bugs and dirt. One option is to immerse the parsley in lukewarm water in a bowl, then pour out the water, then repeat 2-3 times.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter or oil in a pot and fry 3-4 chopped shallots or 1 medium/large chopped onion until translucent.
3. Add 4 cups parsley until it wilts (3-5 minutes). Stir in 1/2 quart vegetable stock and turn off the heat.
4. Puree in a blender or food processor.
5. Return the soup to the pot with another 1/2 quart vegetable stock and 2 cups cream (or half-and-half). Heat, season with salt and pepper to taste, and add 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil.
6. Serve hot with optional parsley garnish!
