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.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit! It's so creamy and flavorful, and the curry powder adds a nice touch of warmth. I love that it's also relatively healthy, so I don't feel guilty about eating it.

Just made this soup and it's delicious! The flavors are perfectly balanced and the texture is creamy and smooth. I added a bit of extra curry powder for a bit more spice. Will definitely make this again!

This soup is so warming and comforting. I love the rich, creamy texture and the subtle sweetness from the parsnips. The curry powder adds a nice touch of spice, but it's not overpowering. Definitely a new favorite!

I'm not a huge fan of parsnips, but this soup was surprisingly good! The curry powder really mellows out the parsnip flavor, and the apples add a nice sweetness. I'll definitely make this again.

This soup is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! It's quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can use frozen parsnips, so I always have some on hand. Definitely a staple in my kitchen!

Meh. It was okay, but not great. I found the soup to be a bit bland and watery. I think I'll stick to my usual parsnip soup recipe.

This soup is so creamy and flavorful! The parsnips and carrots are perfectly tender, and the curry powder adds a nice touch of warmth. I also love the addition of apples, which add a bit of sweetness and crunch. Will definitely make this again!

Nice and easy recipe. The soup was delicious, although I found it a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less curry powder.
