In Saucepot, combine:

1pt Muscat wine (a drier one is better)
2ea Garlic clove
3ea Thyme sprig (about 5"ea)
1/2t Peppercorns, whl.
<reduce until 1/4 of original liquid remains>
<strain out solids from the liquid>
-

2ea Celery root (grapefruit size), peeled, cut into 1" dice
5ea Fuji apples, peeled and cored, 1" pieces
<put into acidic (lemon juice) water to prevent discoloring>
-
In a large stock pot sweat* together:

2ea Parsnips, peeled and 1" dice
2ea celery stocks, peeled and 1" dice
1ea carrot, peeled and 1" dice
1ea Yellow onion, peeled and 1" dice.

<Combine reduction and all vegetables/fruit into stock pot>

<cover 75% of stock pot with lid>
<bring to boil then lower to simmer for about 4-5 hours>
<60%-70% liquid should remain>
<puree with blender**>
<pass through fine mesh strainer>
<season with salt*** and champagne vinegar(or apple cider vinegar)>
===

VANILLA OIL (garnish):

1/2c canola oil
1ea vanilla bean split and scraped
<combine both in small sauce pot>
<heat gently on low heat until it almost simmers>
<remove from heat and let cool>
<pour off the oil into a container without disturbing the vanilla sediment>

Clear, aromatic, and flavorful oil should result.


Enjoy :3

*Sweat = coating a vegetable(usu.) product in a light coating of fat (such as oil) and heating on low until translucent. No coloration should occur!

**Blender = CAREFUL, never fill a blender with hot liquids more than 3/4 full. Soup burns hurt, especially heavier puree soups... they are like napalm.

***Salt = Kosher or sea salt only please. Iodized tastes like chemicals and is only good for sabotaging your roommates' coffee >;3
