Instructions

This silky butternut squash soup gets extra depth from ForYou® parsnips, which add sweetness and a hint of spice. Blended smooth and finished with a swirl of cream, it’s the cold-weather soup you’ll want on repeat. Make a big pot — it freezes beautifully.

  • 2 C. chopped parsnip (3 large)
  • 1 1/2 C. chopped peeled Granny Smith apple (about 1 large)

Miedema Produce Team & History

MIEDEMA PRODUCE

Our Humble Beginning

Miedema Produce began in 1971 when brothers Gerald and Ron Miedema raised their first crops in Jenison, Michigan. The duo learned from their father, Ted, who had farmed in the Netherlands, immigrated to the United States, and used his vegetable growing expertise to make his start in the United States.

Miedema Produce began growing bright and crisp radishes, which is now our hallmark product being grown and produced today. Miedema Produce has since become one of the largest growers and shippers of radishes in the world.
