Instructions

  1. In a medium soup pot, melt the butter.
  2. Add the parsnips, apples, and onions. Sauté over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables have softened slightly.
  3. Add the curry powder, cumin and coriander. Mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
  4. Add the stock and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, until the parsnips are very soft.
  5. Remove the soup from the heat and puree it with an immersion blender, or by transferring the mixture to the bowl of your stand blender.
  6. Add the cream to the pureed soup. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper, as needed.
  7. Return the soup to a low heat and warm the soup gently, without boiling, until heated through.

Notes

  • *The type of apples you choose will greatly impact the flavor of your soup. If you are partial to a more savory soup, choose a tart apple, like Granny Smith. If you don't mind sweetness in your soup, Fuji or Gala apples are a good choice. We would advise avoiding super sweet apples, like Pink Lady or Honey Crisp, unless you are looking for a soup that is on the sweeter end.
