Parsnip Crab Soup

It took a meal at Craftbar for me to become acquainted with the combination of parsnip and crab.  It's a perfect match in this soup.  The parsnip is creamy, but also has an underlying sweetness and earthiness.  The crab is sweet and luscious, while the apple and mango provide another level of sweetness with fresh, crunchy textures that further enhance the silken qualities of the soup.  A chardonnay would be nice with this soup, but we went with a light bodied pinot.  You've got to give this one a try!
