A delicious simple soup without too much heat, excellent as a wintery starter to a dinner party. The spice works wonderfully with the sweetness of the parsnips. Serve with crusty white bread.

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 large parsnips, peeled and chopped into 1 cm cubes
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

  • 100ml double cream
  • Salt and pepper

2. Boil the water in the kettle and mix with stock cube in a separate jug. Add to pan and stir well.
 
3. Simmer for 15 mins until parsnips are soft and easy to break with a wooden spoon.

5. Stir in the cream and warm through.
 
6. Season to taste and garnish with the chilli flakes or paprika.
