Here is how you make Parsnip Apple Cider Soup:

Makes 4 servings.Peel, core, and dice one large apple ( approx 1/4 in cubes). Mix with 1tsp apple cider vinegar to prevent apple from browning. Set aside for garnish.Cut the bacon into 1/4 in cubes, cook until crispy. Set aside for garnish.Peel, core, and coarsely chop the other apple, then peel and slice the parsnip and potato. Add to a pot with 2 cups of stock, and 2/3 cup apple cider. Simmer, covered until potatoes and parsnips are soft, and easy to crush -- about 25 min.Pour the soup (all the contents from the pot) into a blender and puree until smooth. Add 1/2 cup milk and 2 tbsp greek yogurt. (It mixes better if the milk and yogurt is warmish; warming briefly in the microwave on low may be useful.) Add in the Calvados if desired. For a less tangy soup, the yogurt can be omitted, and some of the cider replaced with stock.Return the soup to the pot and simmer for a minute. Add additional stock or water if a thinner soup is desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls; garnish with some apple and bacon cubes.
