Apple-Parsnip Soup

Hey folks. This is a great idea, and I'm glad I can contribute.
I know spring is here but it feels like fall outside so no better time for soup, right? Unfortunately as it goes much of what you'll need is out of season. Here's to poly-tunnels and jets from South America. I worked on a farm where we grew onions, apples and parsnips among other things so this was a regular for me. Hearty, easy to make. Okay, on with the recipe...

You'll need (or the equivalent of):
+ 2 tbs. oil
+ 1 onion medium chopped
+ ~750 grams parsnip chopped
+ 1 apple chopped
+ 1 litre vegetable stock
+ salt/pepper to taste

Brown the onion in the oil, preheated (5 min.). Add your chopped pieces of apple and parsnip (3 min.). Add the vegetable stock, bring to a boil then simmer for 30 minutes. Finally blend it, or pour the soup into a food processer. Back then my only appliance was a gas stove so I think I just mashed the hell out of it with a potato masher, the back of a spoon or ate it chunky. Oh well.
