Parsnip & apple soup

Parsnip & apple soup

These humble roots are made for autumn soups, and their earthy sweetness works particularly well alongside the sharpness of seasonal apples. A slice of cheese on toast on the side would work perfectly.

Ingredients

  • tbsp olive oil, plus extra to serve
  • 1 large onion, roughly chopped
  • 500g parsnips, roughly chopped
  • 500g waxy potatoes, roughly chopped
  • 4 Jazz Apples, cored and chopped
  • 2 clove/s garlic, peeled and bashed
  • 1 L hot fresh vegetable stock
  • 50ml single cream, plus extra for drizzling
  • ¼ x 1 tsp nutmeg, plus extra for sprinkling

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, then add the onion and cook for 6-8 minutes until soft but not browning.

  2. Add the parsnips, potatoes, apples and garlic; season with sea salt and cook for 10 minutes or so, stirring regularly to ensure nothing colours. Pour in the stock and cook for 35-40 minutes on a rolling boil, stirring occasionally

  3. Once the vegetables are tender, take o the heat and add the single cream and nutmeg to the pan. Use a stick blender to whizz the soup until smooth, adding a little more hot water if needed, and season with black pepper and more sea salt, if liked. Serve with a drizzle of cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
