I hate being the first reviewer, but here goes nothing. This has a good flavor to it in spite of the lack of seasoning. I had never used parsnips, turnips, or leeks before but I would use them all again after this. I would not, however, put all of a stew in the blender again. I wish I had only blended half of the stew so that there would still be some texture to it. It came out more like a root vegetable mash than a stew or soup. I cook the vegetables in chicken broth instead of water and didn't drain off anything. I still needed to use several cups of water to to turn this into anything resembling "soup". I made this for St. Paddy's day dinner but no one ate much of it. It looked unappealing and probably should have less carrots or carrots cooked separately so that the color looks less like orange-y mud. Be sure to watch the veggies closely as they cook so that they don't brown. It was tasty though and shows some real potential for alteration.
