Creamy Parsnip, Celery Root, & Potato Soup
We've had quite a bit of snow in Philly the past few weeks which means it's time for a Harry Potter marathon and loads of soup. Typically, I would make my favorite soup (Herby Lemon Soup with Chicken Meatballs) but with fodmap elimination still in full swing, I had to think of an alternative. Thinking of flavorful, starchy, and creamy ingredients, I landed on parsnip, celery root, and potato with homemade chicken stock. This soup is creamy, comforting, and perfect for the winter!
