SPICED PARSNIP SOUP
I just have to share this recipe as it is absolutely brilliant if you are down with flu or a bad cold/sore throat. The spices in the soup will clear your head and sooth your throat. Also it is lovely and smooth, perfect for sore throats, easy to swallow.
Serves 4-6
40g butter
1 onion, chopped
675g parsnips, diced
1tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp chili powder
1.2 litres chicken stock
1. Melt the butter in a large pan, add onions and parsnips and fry gently for about 3 minutes.
2. Stir in the spices and cook for 1 minute more. Add the stock, season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil.
3. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes until the parsnips are tender. Cool slightly then liquidize with blender.
4. Serve with a swirl of double cream
