Preparation steps
Peel the parsley roots, potatoes, and onion. Slice about 6 ounces of the parsley roots into fine long strips for garnish. Dice remaining vegetables and sauté together in a saucepan in 1 tablespoon hot olive oil for 2 minutes over medium heat.
Add broth and cooking cream and simmer soup for about 20 minutes at low heat. In the meantime, deep-fry the parsley root strips in hot oil (approx. 325 °F) until golden brown, drain on kitchen paper, and season lightly with salt.
Wash parsley, shake dry, pluck a few leaves for garnish, finely puree the rest with remaining oil.
Also finely puree the parsley root cream soup. Stir in crème fraîche, adding more broth as needed. Season with lemon juice, salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg and divide among soup plates.
Drizzle parsley oil over top and stir in lightly. Serve soup with parsley root straw and parsley set aside.
