With so many sweet potatoes and apples in our winter veggie CSA I had to figure out *something* to make with them. The fennel and mascarpone just top it off with a luxurious touch.

What this soup lacks in color it makes up for in flavor. The parsnip has that earthy mouthfeel that carrots carry in their scent, but doesn’t come through in their taste. The onions round out the flavor, and the maple sweetens the dish.
