Canadian Cheddar Soup Recipe

"I got this wonderful recipe from my friend that owns a local stamping shop in our town. The first time that I made this I had it for breakfast, lunch, and snacks during the day. I did this till it was gone. Don't let the parsnips scare you. They give great flavor but you do not taste them, I don't think. "
