Yield: 4 servings

¼ cup butter

2 Gala apples, peeled, cored and diced

2 cups parsnips, peeled and diced

½ large onion, finely chopped

2 Tbsp shallots, finely chopped

2 Tbsp roasted red pepper, minced

1 Tbsp roasted garlic, minced

1½ tsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated

½ tsp ground allspice

¼ tsp dried thyme

2½ cups chicken stock

1 cup whipping cream with 35 percent milk fat

½ cup dry vermouth

½ cup olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

1 chorizo sausage, uncooked, casing removed

1 tsp sea salt

1 tsp pepper

 

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add apples, onion, shallots, red pepper, garlic, ginger, allspice and thyme. Cook, stirring often, until the onion has softened. 

Add the stock and cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the apples and parsnips are tender, about 20 minutes.

Transfer the soup ingredients to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Return soup to the pot and add vermouth, olive oil and lemon juice. Reheat gently.

Meanwhile, crumble the chorizo sausage in a small skillet. Cook, stirring often, over medium heat until the sausage is cooked through. Drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 

Ladle the soup into bowls and scatter the chorizo over the top.

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
