Curry spices bring out a deeper, richer flavour in parsnips, and this soup will warm the coldest winter day.
Ingredients:
50g unsalted butter
1 tsp each of ground coriander, ground cumin, ground turmeric
500 g parsnips (about 4 medium parsnips)
450 ml chicken stock
300 ml milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Tabasco sauce
2-3 Tbsp chives, chopped
Method:
Melt the butter in a heavy-based saucepan, add the spices and cook gently without letting the butter brown, until the spices have released their flavours.
Meanwhile, peel and dice the parsnips. Add to the spicy butter and cook for a minute or two.
Add the stock, milk, salt and pepper and simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes or until the diced parsnips are tender.
Use a blender, food processor or mouli to process the soup to a smooth thickness. Work in batches if necessary.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary and return to the saucepan to reheat.
Serve in individual bowls garnished with a drop of Tabasco sauce and the chopped chives.
