It’s fresh and hearty.⁠—Stardew Valley item description

Nothing is more satisfying than cooking with fresh vegetables from your own garden! I’ve enclosed a recipe to help you out. Take care.⁠—Caroline

This is the first recipe Caroline sends you when you reach a high enough relationship with her. She appears to be a big fan of vegetable gardening and champions how wonderful it is to cook with your own home-grown produce.

She is, admittedly, not wrong.

This recipe is a wonderful celebration of overwintered parsnips available in early spring, where parsnips are left in the ground over fall and winter to develop a sweeter flavor. Unfortunately this also means they often develop a woody core which has to be cut away before cooking.

The Pam-approved soup starts with the familiar peppery bite of parsnips and gives way to a mellow, sweet finish that lingers on the tongue thanks to onion, white wine, and a splash of white wine vinegar. If you don’t consume alcohol, try replacing the wine with vegetable or chicken broth and an additional tablespoon of lemon juice or white wine vinegar. I added heavy cream instead of milk because milk tends to curdle when added to hot soups or sauces; if you want to add something lighter like half and half instead, keep the soup over a low or medium heat before adding the half and half and never bring it back to a boil.

When you’re finished, ladle yourself a nice bowl and garnish with chives or other herbsfresh or driedthat you prefer. Scoop up any remaining bits of soup with a nice crusty bread.
