Our farm family would eat soup every day as long as it didn't come from a can! This smooth creamy concoction tastes like it's fresh from the garden. A subtle hint of horseradish and ginger sparks every steaming spoonful.

The only things I changed about this recipe was the exchange of water to more chicken broth and buttermilk to half-and-half. I found the soup okay, I think it was the of the horseradish, both fiance and I found it too strong. Next time I make this, I want to leave the horseradish out and add about two cups of cheddar cheese. I'm also going to make sure I do a better job blending this soup.

This is a really yummy soup. We live in the cold mountains of PA and I am always looking for new soup recipes. Very different, but good. First time I have ever eaten parsnips!
