The gluten free experiment is going well. I’m starting to feel better with a few bumps along the way but I figure that is normal. I am discovering there are some missed opportunities when searching out gluten free snacks and the like. It is not a guarantee that you will get something that tastes good. I tried a breakfast wrap at a local bagel place and the gluten free wrap could be best described as wet cardboard. Some of the tortilla chips aren’t much better. I tried one type of cracker that said right on the box how important taste was. My husband said I made quite the face trying to eat those!
I have found a couple of things I like and fortunately we’re having success at home. Otherwise I’d starve or at the very least be very cranky. And that just won’t do!
With the cooler weather settling in I was in the mood for a quick soup with a lot of flavour. Roasted mushrooms and parsnips fit the bill.
Slice up mushrooms of your choice and a few parsnips, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in an oven at 350F/175C until parsnips are cooked and golden.
Melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and add 3-5 cloves of garlic chopped and some fresh thyme.
Once the garlic has softened add the mushrooms and parsnips.
As I was only making this for two I added 2 cups of veg bouillon and 1/2 cup of dry white wine. Bring to a simmer. Add salt and pepper if needed. Serve with fresh grated parmesan cheese.
Of course if you aren’t doing gluten free then cheesy toast would be perfect with this. 🙂
This soup looks delicious. I never thought to combine mushrooms and parsnips but I like both and they seem perfect together for a soup.
I make this recipe for crackers from King Arthur for my friend who is gluten intolerant when he visits. I make them a little larger than the recipe so they are good with appetizers. he says they are really good. FYI:http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/gluten-free-cheese-crackers-recipe

Lovely recipe
This sounds perfect. I love soup but don’t always want to have a pot on the stove all afternoon. This can be ready in minutes and I bet the flavor of each of the few ingredients really shines through. This will be on my table much sooner than later. Thanks!
You’re welcome! I think the soups that keep it simple are the best.
Have you tried Crunchmaster brand gluten-free crackers? They are sooo good. They’re my new favorite cracker, and I’m not even gluten-free! A very nutty taste.
I’ll have to look for them. Thanks. 🙂
I love parsnips and try to introduce them to people who’ve never had them before. This soup looks fantastic!
Thank you! I love them roasted, really brings out the flavour.
