Parsnip and onion soup
If you want to try new vegetables, a soup is a fantastic way to do so. This rich, creamy parsnip soup is simple and delicious.
Ingredients
25g butter
2 brown onions, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
5 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
1 litre vegetable stock
150ml thickened cream
freshly grated nutmeg, to serve
Method
1. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the butter, onions and garlic. Fry for about 5 minutes until softened but not browned. Add the parsnips and stock and bring to a simmer. Simmer covered for 20 minutes until the parsnips are tender, then blend to a smooth purée with half the cream using either a stick or tabletop blender. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then serve with the remaining cream swirled through the soup and a little freshly grated nutmeg.
Adam's tip: If you're making soup, make more than you need and freeze the rest in portions so that you can break them out as an easy first course. Soups freeze exceptionally well.
