Parsnip and Apple Soup

A delicious soup which is both hearty and refreshing at the same time.

Parsnips and apples are at their best in the UK from late autumn to winter and they combine perfectly in this deliciously creamy soup. The tang of the apples and the sweetness of the parsnips are a combination made in heaven.

This is a very simple one pot soup and we guarantee the taste is one of the best of all soups. It freezes exceptionally well and is low in calories. It's also vegetarian.

INGREDIENTS

500g parsnips (about two medium ones)

2 medium cooking apples

1 large onion

2 cloves of garlic

1.8 pints / 1 litre vegetable stock (fresh or 2 stock cubes in hot water)

150g natural vegetarian yogurt

Three tablespoons of vegetable oil

Half a teaspoon of vegetarian curry paste (or to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

ADVICE FOR PARSNIP AND APPLE SOUP

This delicious soup is easily changed to suit your particular taste. As the ingredients below show we added a small amount of curry paste but you can substitute curry powder or maybe Chinese 5 Spice. Another swap that could made is to use cream instead of yoghurt.
