Yum. Shavua tov. How did you make the soup?

I sauteed a chopped onion and head of garlic for a bit, then added some curry powder (not a ton). I peeled and chopped up all the parsnips in the house (there were a lot, mostly largish, well over a dozen, but I didn't count), adding water enough to cover them. I cut up a peeled carrot at the end, too. That simmered for a long while, then I used the potato masher on in to make the pieces even smaller. I should've pureed at least some of it, but I wasn't in the mood. And people liked it, so I'm fine with it as is :-).
