Notes
- Instead of shallots, you could use onion or leek.
- Add some spice to this soup with a sprinkle of red chilli flakes before serving or blend in some curry powder.
- To give it a bit of a different flavour, you could use coconut milk instead of cream.
- Give this soup more of an intense parsnip flavour by roasting the parsnips first.
- Make sure to blend it until super smooth for the best texture.
- Some pumpkin seeds are nice sprinkled on top too.
- Adding a little grated ginger adds an incredible flavour.
