Place parsnips, sweet potato, and onion pieces in a 3-quart (3 L)
nonreactive saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch (2.5 cm). Add
teaspoon (1 ml) of the salt to the water. Bring to the boil over high heat,
then reduce heat to medium-high and simmer until vegetables are
tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
When vegetables are tender, remove from heat. Drain and return to
cooking pan. Add half-and-half and butter. Insert the Cuisinart

Stick
into the cooked vegetables, making certain the protective guard
is submerged in the vegetables. Blend, using a gentle up-and-down
motion, moving the hand blender through the pan, until ingredients
are well blended, smooth and creamy, about 50 to 60 seconds. Season
with the remaining
hot. If not serving immediately, transfer purée to a double boiler and
keep warm over simmering water.
Tips:
Change the flavor by adding a few cloves of peeled fresh garlic or slices
of fresh peeled ginger to the water when cooking.
Make a heart-healthy version by substituting chicken or vegetable stock
for the half-and-half, and extra virgin olive oil for the butter
(do not add fresh ginger to this version).
