📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add the parsnips and celery root to a medium pot and cover with cold water and a generous pinch of salt.

2
Bring up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, about ⏱️ 15-20 minutes.
3
Drain thoroughly, then place the vegetables back in the pot and let steam for several minutes to dry (too much liquid will make the puree watery).
4
Add the butter and let it melt, then add the half and half and season with salt and white pepper.

5
Use an immersion blender to puree the vegetables until very smooth. Alternatively, you can do this in a food processor or blender, but the immersion blender makes it so much easier.
6
Add more half and half a little bit at a time to achieve your desired consistency.
7
Taste to check for seasoning and adjust as needed.
