"When it comes to cozy kitchen wisdom, few do it like Martha Stewart. With decades of culinary experience and that calm, confident persona, she has a way of making even the trickiest recipes feel doable. Whether she's baking a holiday pie or teaching us how to fold napkins into swans, Stewart knows how to elevate the everyday. She's the queen of turning something simple into something spectacular - and her chicken soup is no exception."
"She starts with a simple base - chicken, carrots, onions, garlic, bay leaves, sprigs of parsley, fresh thyme, peppercorns, and a generous pinch of coarse salt. Parsnips add in a sweet, nutty depth that makes the broth taste richer and more complex without overpowering it. On top of that, they're full of antioxidants and fiber - some little goodies we could all use more of."
Parsnips contribute a sweet, nutty depth to chicken soup that enhances broth richness without overwhelming other flavors. A classic soup base pairs chicken with carrots, onions, garlic, bay leaves, parsley, fresh thyme, peppercorns, and coarse salt. Parsnips provide mild natural sweetness, added complexity, antioxidants, and fiber. Historically, parsnips served as a sweetening vegetable before widespread sugar use. Their mellow flavor bridges savory and softly sweet notes, making them versatile in soups and other dishes where poultry and vegetables are central. Parsnips elevate simple preparations by improving flavor balance and mouthfeel.
