I always thought parsnips were a love or hate veggie, like marmite. I’m not a parsnip fan, but I love this comforting soup, so do try it, even if you’re not on Team parsnip. This soup might change your mind!
I like serving it with a dollop of creamy Greek yoghurt & some fresh herbs, like parsley or coriander.
You can also add immune supporting garlic & fresh ginger, or a couple handfuls of dried lentils to add some energy sustaining protein & fibre.
Parsnips provide folate, vitamin C, potassium, phosphorus & carbohydrates, as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial plant compounds (aka phytochemicals), so great for your immune system & supporting your energy.
Warning! This soup's spiciness level goes up a notch the next day!
Ingredients and method (Serves 4)
1 bag of parsnips (unpeeled)
2 onions or leeks
Veg stock (500ml) + hot water

Soften the onion/ leek in a pan with olive oil or butter.
Sprinkle in the spices. Stir into the onions & cook for a couple of minute longer.
Add chopped parsnips, vegetable stock & season with pepper. Add hot water, to just cover the veg.
Slow cook it for 2-3 hrs on high in a slow cooker or approx. 40mins on the stove, until parsnips are soft.
Simply season, blend & serve.
