Carrot, Apple and Ginger Soup With Cheese Crisps

 

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine carrots, parsnips, apples, olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until soft and browned. Transfer to a large saucepan and cover with broth and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Stir in ginger and cook for 8 to 10 minutes longer. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Blend until smooth, using a regular blender or an immersion blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, make the cheese crisps. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Combine cheese, flour, chives, parsley and pepper in a small bowl. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon cheese mixture onto parchment in 3-inch long ovals. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until crunchy and golden around edges. Remove and allow to cool completely. Crisps can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.

Serve hot soup with crisps.
