What other vegetable can you substitute parsnip for in soup?

Answer 1

In almost all circumstances, you could swap out parsnips and turnips (or vice versa) with any other starchy vegetable, and you would find no real flavor difference. Some starchy substitutes you could use are multiple varieties of potatoes and beans, lentils, and yams.

Answer 2

You would not want to make that substitution. The flavor of parsnip is totally different from that of parsley. The roots of vegetables carry the strongest flavor and the root of parsnip can be bitter.

Many stores cut the root from the parsley before display, however if you ask the grocery clerk he will save a few bunches with root still attached for you. You may also use the stem of the parsley in your recipe by cutting and tying the bunch together with kitchen string as you would with a bouquet garni. Use this in the soup for flavor and remove the cooked bundle of stems prior to final preparation of the soup. Finely chop some of the leaves for extra flavor and color.
