Healthy, because
The somewhat forgotten vegetable parsnip can keep up with modern superfoods because it is full of healthy ingredients. 100 grams contain 523 milligrams of potassium, which strengthens the cardiovascular system. Essential oils not only protect the stomach, but also have a slightly antibacterial effect.
Even smarter
Such a delicious cream soup always goes down well. Especially on cold and rainy days the vegetable soup warms up. You can refine the recipe with garlic or fresh herbs. Freshly chopped parsley, for example, is ideal.
