A warm and comforting soup combining the sweetness of parsnips, tartness of apples, and the warmth of curry spices, perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups parsnips, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tart apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric (optional)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and sautΓ© for 3-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  3. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the parsnips and apples, stirring to coat them in the aromatics.
  5. Sprinkle in the curry powder and turmeric (if using), then stir well to combine. Let the spices toast for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the ingredients are fully submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes or until the parsnips are tender.
  7. Turn off the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly, transfer to a blender, and blend in batches until smooth.
  8. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Heat gently for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as fresh parsley, a swirl of yogurt, or crunchy croutons.

Notes

[‘Toast the spices to release their full flavor.’, ‘Use tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for balanced sweetness.’, ‘Allow the soup to cool slightly before blending to avoid pressure build-up from steam.’, ‘Adjust the consistency by adding more vegetable broth or water if needed.’, ‘Season gradually and taste as you go.’]
