🍵Instructions For Mary Berry Curried Parsnip Soup

Set the olive oil over medium heat in a big saucepan. Put in the chopped garlic and onions. Cook for five minutes, until the onions are soft and clear.
When you add the chopped parsnips to the pan, cook for another 5 minutes while turning every now and then.
Add the ground cumin and coriander and mix the veggies well so that the spices cover them.
Put in the veggie stock, add salt and pepper, and then boil the whole thing. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the parsnips are soft.
Take the soup off the heat and blend it with an immersion blender until it’s smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender. Just make sure to let the soup cool a bit first and blend it in batches if you need to.
You can add double cream to the soup to make it richer if you want to. You can change how much cream you use to your liking.
Bring the soup back to low heat and warm it up slowly. Test the flavor and make any necessary changes.
Serve the parsnips soup hot with chopped fresh parsley on top.
