Parsnip is
a much underrated vegetable. At least that was the case in our (Polish) family
for a very long time. I can remember my mother using it in 2 dishes only: as
one of the ingredients of stock and of Polish vegetable salad. Actually, it was
my husband who introduced me and my side of the family to roasted parsnip and
we all were surprised how delicious it tasted just by itself.
Since then
I have been more open minded and used it for other meals as well, I even plan
to bake a parsnip cake one day! However for now, I am sharing a parsnip soup recipe
that I have tested many times. The soup is creamy and smooth, and the slightly
nutty taste of parsnip is very well complimented by curry powder.
INGREDIENTS
(for 4 portions):
2 tbsp
rapeseed oil,
1 onion,
peeled and chopped,
2 garlic
cloves, peeled and chopped,
1 bay leaf,
1-2 sprigs
of parsley,
0.5-1.5
tbsp curry powder (the amount depends on the heat of the powder you use and on
your own preferences),
500g
parsnips, peeled and chopped,
1 l
vegetable stock,
250 ml
milk,
salt and
pepper.
METHOD:
- Heat up the oil in a big pot.
- Add the onion, garlic, bay leaf, parsley, 0.5 tbsp curry powder and parsnip, stir everything well to coat in the oil and curry, and cook on medium heat for 10-15 minutes.
- Add the stock and cook the soup for another 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
- Liquidize the soup, season it (if it is not spicy enough, you can add more curry), add the milk and bring to boil.
