I love this mildly spiced thick soup. It's sweet with parsnips and has a little kick from chilli. I like to garnish it with extra crunchy homemade sourdough croutons, some crisp bacon and onions, fresh coriander leaves and a small dollop of yoghurt. Beautiful!

3large sized parsnips, trimmed and finely diced,
1/2white onion, chopped,
1.5 tbspvegetable oil for frying,
1/2 tspgaram masala,
1/2 tspgarlic powder,

Cooking Instructions

30 mins

1

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium low heat. Add in the onions and Sauté for several minutes stirring occasionally until beautifully soft and lightly golden.
2

Add in the parsnip. Stir. Sauté for a couple of minutes.
Season well with salt and pepper. Add in the garlic, garam masala and turmeric. Stir through. Cook the spices out for a minute or two.
3

Boil a kettle of water.
Crumble the stock cube over the parsnips then pour over enough boiling water to cover all the vegetable. Bring to a simmer. Once the parsnips are soft, remove from the heat.
4

Blend out until quite smooth using a hand blender then add in the yoghurt. Blend further until smooth a creamy. Add hot water in little by little whilst stirring until desired final consistency is achieved. It should be smooth and quite thick but not lumpy but still able to run off a spoon.
5

Suggest serving up and garnishing with crispy croutons, crispy onions, bacon bits, yoghurt & fresh coriander leaves to make it extra special. Enjoy!

Not quite as beautiful as yours, @NatalieMarten, but so delicious. And my parsnips cost me 14p from the bargain bin! Too good to waste!

I like to serve this soup warm or cold in small glasses as amuse-bouche. I prefer it mild in order to taste the subtlety of the ingredients but if you and your guests are into bolder flavors, add cayenne or hot sauce.

Parsnips and curry spices are a marriage made in Heaven. Roasting the vegetables in the spices makes the soup sweet and a lightly spiced.

Simple and Easy Onion Gratin Soup Simple and Easy Onion Gratin Soup

Croutons can be eaten as bite-sized crunchy snacks, or sprinkled in salads, so I make a lot and enjoy eating them in a variety of ways. This time, I made onion gratin soup.The soup is simply flavored with just onion and consommé. Transform the soup into a rich and deep dish by adding flavorful garlic cheese croutons. For 2 or more servings. Recipe by Mimato

Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup

I had roasted red pepper soup in a sourdough bread bowl at a bakery and I wondered how I could cook it myself. It is the best soup for cold winter days. I served with yoghurt in the picture, but I also like to have it with gorgonzola.
