It looked really good and the mom-in-law had fresh cauliflower and beets handy, so I thought I&#8217;d give it a try.  Hubby was out of town for Valentine&#8217;s, so I ended up making this a little later, for my dad&#8217;s birthday.  My grandparents were in town, too, so it was a multi-generational (4?) party.  I forgot to take photos of the finished soup as it was being served, but it was quite lovely, with the colorful, crispy beets on top.  (I&#8217;ve posted a photo of Hubby, me, Boy, Girl and my grandparents at the birthday dinner, instead.)  I only made one batch of soup, which is only supposed to serve 2, but there were 8 of us, so I served small, appetizer portions in ramekins, as an &#8220;amuse bouche&#8221; before my mom&#8217;s dinner of bruschetta, salad and lasagna.  The soup was very yummy and creamy, especially for something so healthy.  I did substitute chicken broth for the water, just to add a little more body.  The parsnips gave a tangy, refreshing gingery flavor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"cauliflower%20soup%20-%20sauteeing%20leeks.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/cauliflower%20soup%20-%20sauteeing%20leeks.jpg\" width=\"381\" height=\"302\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>The leeks, sauteeing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"cauliflower%20soup%20-%20simmering.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/cauliflower%20soup%20-%20simmering.jpg\" width=\"344\" height=\"272\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>The soup, simmering, before being pureed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"cauliflower%20soup%20-%20beet%20chips.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/cauliflower%20soup%20-%20beet%20chips.jpg\" width=\"354\" height=\"310\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>These beet chips were SO yummy.
