Parsnip and Apple Soup

Parsnips and apples, with a hint of curry, compliment each other perfectly in this creamy soup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces butter
  • 2 shallots
  • 3 parsnips
  • 1 Granny Smith apple or a cooking apple
  • 1 medium potato or 2 small
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • Salt and pepper to season

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped shallots and cook until softened.
  3. Add peeled and chopped parsnips, apple, and potato to the pot.
  4. Sprinkle curry powder and ground ginger over the vegetables and stir well.
  5. Pour in chicken stock and bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat and simmer for about 50 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  7. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.
  8. Stir in whipping cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Heat through gently without boiling, then serve.

Notes

For a spicier soup, increase the amount of curry powder. Use Granny Smith apples for a tart contrast to the sweet parsnips. This soup pairs well with crusty bread.
