INGREDIENTS
900 g Parsnips, peeled and cut into pieces (see note below for garnish)
1 Pear, peeled, core removed and cut into pieces.
5-6 C stock (either chicken or vegetable)
½ Medium sweet onion, chopped
1 Stalk of Celery, chopped
1 ½ Tbsp Olive oil
1 Tbsp Lemon juice, fresh squeezed
1 ½ tsp Brick Lane Takeaway
1 tsp salt
a dash of nutmeg *optional
⅓ Cream *Optional
Note – to make the garnish out of crispy parsnips, use a mandolin to slice a few thin pieces either from the base or the sides and cook these in hot oil while
the soup is cooking. Otherwise, garnish with parsley or a drizzle of cream.
DIRECTIONS
- Heat the oil a large pot or sauce pan on medium heat, add the chopped onion and celery. Cook for 3-4 minutes then add the Brick Lane Takeaway.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add the parsnips, pears and stock. Cook for about 25 minutes until parsnip and pear are very soft.
- Blend until smooth with either an immersion blender, stand blender, Vitamix or food processor (let cool first if using a food processor).
- Return to pot on medium heat. Add spices, salt and lemon. (If it is too thick, add a bit of water.) Serve hot with garnish of cream, and/or parsnip chips or parsley.
