The recipe says to sauté the onion. Then it says to blend the ginger, beets, and parsnips. Do you mean to say that they are blended raw and then added to the sautéed onion, leaving the soup chunky? Is there a step missing?
Parsnips and beets are pretty hard. I have blended ginger in the past, but not raw parsnips. Please advise.

Hello! There are no steps missing. Yes, they should be diced and blended raw, until smooth, (such as when making a smoothie) and then transferred to the pot with the onions and garlic. Depending on your blender, dicing the vegetables would work fine!
