Parsnip & Apple Soup
This luxurious parsnip and apple soup is rich in flavour but not too heavy, and as easy to make as it is easy on your budget!
Servings: 6 portions
Prep Time5 minutes mins
Cook Time30 minutes mins
Total Time35 minutes mins
- 1 large onion - about 150g
- 2 cloves garlic
- 650 g parsnips
- 2 apples
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 25 g butter
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 750 ml vegetable stock - 3 cups
Optional To Serve
- squeeze lemon juice
- 2 tbsp double cream
Peel and roughly chop the vegetables. Chop the apples and discard the cores (you don't need to peel them).
1 large onion, 2 cloves garlic, 650 g parsnips, 2 apples
Put the butter, oil and onion in a medium sized saucepan over a medium heat. Cook for a few minutes until the onion is translucent. Then add the garlic, parsnips and spices and cook a little longer, taking care not to burn the garlic.
2 tbsp olive oil, 25 g butter, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp garam masala
Add the apple and stock.
750 ml vegetable stock
Cook gently until the apple and parsnip are soft and tender.
Now remove the pan from the heat and blend the soup until it is smooth and velvety. I usually use a stick blender for this but a food processor/blender is fine too.
Check the seasoning and garnish as you prefer before serving.
squeeze lemon juice, 2 tbsp double cream
