Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, thickly sliced
1kg/2lb 2oz parsnips, peeled, cut into chunks
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 tbsp honey
1-2 tsp hot curry powder
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1.5litres/2½pints chicken stock (vegetarians may substitute vegetable stock)
450ml/16fl oz double cream
oil, for deep-frying
½ parsnip, peeled
½ beetroot, peeled
½ turnip, peeled
½ carrot, peeled
250ml/9fl oz double cream
½ lemon, juice only

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
  • Place all the soup ingredients with the exception of the stock and cream into a roasting tray. Mix well and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place into the oven to roast for 25-30 minutes, until golden and tender.
  • Place all but 250ml/9fl oz of the chicken stock into a saucepan over a high heat. Add the cream and, once boiling, reduce the heat to simmer.
  • Add the roasted parsnips and continue to simmer.
  • Pour the remaining stock into the roasting tray and place over a high heat. Stir well, scraping at the browned bits on the base of the roasting tray to release all of the flavour, then add this sauce to the simmering soup.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly, then transfer into a food processor and blend until smooth. Return the soup to the pan and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Meanwhile, for the vegetable chips, preheat a deep-fat fryer to 190C/375F. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
  • Using a potato peeler, peel long strips of each of the vegetables. Carefully add the vegetable strips into the oil and fry until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
  • To serve, place the cream into a bowl and whip lightly until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. Add the lemon juice and fold into the cream.
  • Serve the soup in a bowl with a dollop of cream in the centre and a small pile of vegetable crisps placed over the top.

CURRIED PARSNIP SOUP (FROM GOOD HOUSEKEEPING)



Curried Parsnip Soup (From Good Housekeeping) image

This is my favourite parsnip soup - beats any I've had in restaurants, but also very, very easy to make I've given the full recipe as found in my old Good housekeeping book, but personally usually make it with half the butter (or a tablespoon of oil) and no cream - it's just as tasty. I only make the 'full fat' version on special occasions. (If you use 1 tbsp oil and omit the cream and use 3 veg stock cubes made up to 2 pints of stock rather than chicken stock, then by my calculation each serving is worth 125 calories and 3g of fat) And it freezes well.

Tips:

  • Choose the right parsnips: Look for firm, unblemished parsnips with no signs of sprouting or bruising. Smaller parsnips tend to be more tender and flavorful.
  • Roast the parsnips before adding them to the soup: Roasting the parsnips intensifies their natural sweetness and adds a smoky flavor to the soup.
  • Use a good quality curry powder: A good curry powder will make all the difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a curry powder that is fresh and has a vibrant color.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices to your liking: If you like your soup spicy, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder soup, reduce the amount of spices.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for curried parsnip soup include chopped cilantro, plain yogurt, and papadums.

Conclusion:

Curried parsnip soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The parsnips are roasted before being added to the soup, which gives them a smoky flavor and intensifies their natural sweetness. The curry powder adds a warm and flavorful spice to the soup. This soup is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. You can adjust the spices to make it as mild or spicy as you like, and you can also add different toppings, such as chopped cilantro, plain yogurt, or papadums.
