Parsnip Chowder

I have only recently begun to enjoy the taste of the parsnip. And with the weather beginning to turn colder, I thought this would be a great recipe to list.

2 Tbsp. salt pork
1 small onion chopped
2 cups parsnips, diced
1 cup potatoes, diced
2 cups boiling water
salt, pepper
1 quart milk, scalded
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup fine corn flake crumbs
1 Tbsp. minced parsley

Fry the salt pork. Add onion and saute until tender but not brown. Add parsnips, potatoes, boiling water and seasonings and simmer until vegetables are tender. Add remaining ingredients and continue cooking until chowder is very hot.
