soup:

1. Peel and chop the shallots. Parsnip clean and cut into cubes.
2. Saute shallots in a small amount of sesame oil until translucent. Add the diced parsnips, stirring to brown. When they caramelize, deglaze with white wine, then add stock. Cover and cook for 25 minutes until the parsnips are tender.
3. Then add the liquid cream and miso, mix with an immersion blender so that the soup becomes homogeneous. Keep warm.

Granola:

• Place the nut/seed mixture in a frying pan and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to brown.
• Add the tamari sauce and maple syrup, reduce the heat and make sure the seeds are well coated.
• Remove from heat, place in a small bowl and set aside.

For the parsnip chips:

1. Peel the parsnips. Using a mandoline, thinly slice the parsnips.
2. Fry them in an oil bath until golden brown.
3. Drain on absorbent paper and set aside.

Dressage:

1. Ladle soup into 4 bowls and top with granola and sprouts.
