Johnny is part of a nationally broadcast radio documentary on racism to be broadcast Tues., Feb 8 at 9:30 a.m. on CBC’s The Current with Anna Maria Tremonti. This piece was produced in Thunder Bay by Jodie Porter at our local CBC station. Jodie got a group of aboriginals and non-aboriginals (including Johnny) together to make soup, get to know each other and discuss racial issues in Thunder Bay. Johnny brought the parsnips.
3 cups diced parsnips
3 cup diced potatoes
3/4 cup diced carrots
3/4 cup diced turnips
1 1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup olive oil
9 cups vegetable stock
1 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tbsp chopped garlic
1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 1/2 tsp dried tarragon
1 1/2 cup cheese
Sauté the vegetables in the olive oil until tender.
Add stock, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, thyme and tarragon and cook for ½ hour.
Puree the soup and return to a clean pot to cook for another ten minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and ladle into bowls. Sprinkle some diced cheese into each bowl of soup.
