Directions
- 1. Wash the produce to start.
- 2. Dice beets and carrot; place in a medium bowl.
- 3. Dice potatoes and add to the bowl.
- 4. Quarter and dice the apple; add to the bowl.
- 5. Peel and mince garlic; peel and dice onion; add to the bowl.
- 6. Preheat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- 7. Shave parsley leaves, mince, and add half to the bowl; reserve the rest for garnish.
- 8. When the pan is hot, add a splash of oil and the vegetables, apple, and dried thyme; cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften (about 4–5 minutes).
- 9. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer; reduce heat and cook until the vegetables are very tender (10–12 minutes more).
- 10. While the soup simmers, preheat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the prosciutto until crispy, about 1 minute per side; transfer to a plate.
- 11. Remove the soup from heat and stir in the heavy cream; blend with a hand blender until smooth, or mash for a chunkier texture.
- 12. Crumble or chop the crispy prosciutto.
- 13. Divide the soup into bowls and top with the crispy prosciutto and the reserved parsley.
- 14. Serve and enjoy.

Two tips
- Leftovers refrigerate well for up to 3 days; reheat gently and adjust thickness with a splash of broth if needed.
- If you want a lighter option, omit the prosciutto and finish with an extra pinch of salt or a little olive oil.
