  • Yield: 4 servings
  • Ready in: 35 mins (10 mins Prep - 25 mins Cook)
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.

Recipe provided by:

Allrecipes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 large parsnips, peeled and chopped into 1 cm cubes
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 750ml boiling water
  • 1 stock cube
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 100ml double cream
  • Salt and pepper
  • Dried chilli pepper flakes or paprika to garnish

Preparation method

  1.   Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Fry the onion in butter until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the parsnips, garlic and curry powder, and fry for a couple of minutes to release the flavours.
  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.
  4.   Take off the heat and blend with hand mixer or food processor.
  5.   Stir in the cream and warm through.
  6.   Season to taste and garnish with the chilli flakes or paprika.

    Review: Ita

    I will definately be making this again. I loved it! The smell while it was cooking was glorious. Like "sbthatsme" said in the last review - the heat from the curry powder was perfect against the sweetness of the parsnips. It only needs a few tablespoons of cream.

    This soup is so quick and easy to make and tastes gorgeous! I will definately make it again. The sweetness of the parsnips goes with the spicyness perfectly.
