Ingredients
 

  • 800 grams parsnips peeled and chopped
  • 2 onions
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 eating apples peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 stalks of celery chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin seeds
  • 300 millilitres semi-skimmed milk or a mix of cream and milk for a special occasion
  • 600 millilitres vegetable or chicken stock

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large pan and gently fry the onions until soft, add the garlic and spices and cook for a couple of minutes.
  • Add the parsnips, celery if using, and apples stirring well to cover them with the spices.
  • Add the stock and cook until the parsnips are soft about 20-30 minutes.
  • When slightly cooled, use a hand blender or liquidiser to liquidise the soup.
  • Add the milk and/or cream reheat.
  • Serve with thinly sliced apple, a sprinkling of chilli flakes and lots of crusty bread.

Notes

To make the decoration as in the picture, pour a little single cream around the apples slices in the centre of the bowl, then take a teaspoon and swirl it through the circle of cream to create a pretty pattern.
