Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add the parsnips and cook, stirring to avoid browning.
Once the parsnips have softened, add the milk and bring to the simmer.  Cook until the parsnips are tender to the touch.
Remove from heat.  Place the parsnips in a blender in small batches and blend adding the liquid as needed.
