Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Parsnips and Chestnuts

    Add the chopped parsnips and chestnuts to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Pour in the vegetable broth, and add salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until the parsnips are tender, about 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If desired, stir in heavy cream for a richer flavor.

Relish Preparation

  1. 5

    Toast Pine Nuts

    In a dry skillet, toast the pine nuts over medium heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

  2. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix the toasted pine nuts, golden raisins, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and walnut oil. Season with salt to taste.
