Spicy Parsnip Soup


Just thought I would add this one as its and all time favourite of mine and cheap.

serves 2

2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion chopped
1 med potato peeled and chopped
250g parsnips (2 parsnips?) peeled and chopped
1/4 tsp of curry powder
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp ground cardomen
3/4 litre of veg stock
salt and pepper
double cream/creme fraiche

Melt the butter, cook onion and potato 3 to 4 mins until softened add parsnips and mix well. Stir in ground spices and cook for another minute. Should smell nice.. Pour in stock and bring to the boil. Lower heat and cover pan , simmer for 20mins until parnips are soft. ( all depending on how small you cut them) . Remove from heat and use blender to process until smooth , season and serve with a swirl of cream.
