. Add the parsnips, stock, oats, and salt to taste, if desired. Lock the lid
in place and over high heat bring to high pressure. Adjust heat to maintain hi
gh pressure, and cook for 6 minutes. Let the pressure drop naturally or use a
quick-release method. (follow manufacturer’s instructions) Remove the lid, til

Puree all or part of the soup in a blender or food processor. Reheat, stirring
in cream if desired. Adjust seasonings and serve.

Note: Rolled oats add a creamy richness to the soup; if you wish it richer sti
ll, stir in a bit of heavy cream just before serving.

Note: For an informal meal, puree half of the soup, leaving some parsnip chunk
s intact for texture.

Creamed Variation: the soup becomes more elegant if you puree the whole batch.
