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.

  • Tweak: Diana Made it healthier:

    I used olive oil instead of butter, and instead of cream I added about 60g of soft goat's cheese. This lent just the right amount of creaminess without compromising on flavour, and saved loads on fat and calories!

    Tweak: Ita Altered ingredient amounts:

    I only added a couple of tablespoons of cream instead of the whole 100ml.

    truly a delicious soup. I followed to the letter, except for a few minor tweaks above. The whole family loved it. Will definitely make again

    Review: jothecook

    A very tasty soup. Had never had parsnip before and just fell in love with it. I used a bit of soya cream instead of double cream and turned out perfect. Felt very light as well. Definitely recommend it.
