Method

In Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat; cook leek, ginger and salt, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes.

Stir in parsnips, celery and apple; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add broth and water; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until parsnips are tender, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.

In batches in blender, pur?e soup until smooth; return to pot. Stir in cream, mustard and vinegar; reheat to serve.

Frizzled Leeks: Meanwhile, in skillet, heat enough oil to cover bottom of skillet over medium-high heat; fry leek, in batches, until golden, about 1 minute. Transfer to paper towel–lined plate; sprinkle with salt. Serve sprinkled on soup.
