Apple Parsnip Soup Recipes

PARSNIP AND APPLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion, garlic and nutmeg and sauté for 5-10 minutes until softened.
• Add the parsnips and the apples and sauté for another 5-10 minutes.
• Dissolve the bouillon in a litre of boiling water and add to the pan. Cover the pan and bring to the boil. Add enough additional water to cover the vegetables and bring back to the boil. Simmer gently for 20 minutes or until the parsnips and apples are softened.
• Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool slightly, then blitz with a stick blender until the mixture is perfectly smooth. Add enough water to achieve a smooth consistency and season with salt and pepper.
• Place the oil and thyme in a saucepan over a medium heat and continue to warm through until the thyme begins to sizzle.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and leave to cool. Drizzle the oil over the soup when you serve.

CREAMY PARSNIP AND APPLE SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter and oil in a large saucepan. Gently fry the onions and parsnips for 15 minutes, or until the onions are softened. Add the garlic and apples and cook for a further two minutes, stirring regularly.
• Pour over the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the parsnips are very soft. Remove from the heat and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Blend the mixture in a food processor until smooth.
• Stir in the milk, adding a little extra if required. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

SLOW COOKER PARSNIP AND APPLE SOUP

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Cook, covered, until parsnips are tender, 3 hours. If desired, top with additional minced rosemary and cracked pepper.

APPLE PARSNIP SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in large Dutch oven or stock pot over medium-high heat. Add apples, parsnips, onion, and coriander and saute lightly until slightly softened, about 12 minutes.
• Add the 3 cups stock and 1 cup milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until apples and parsnips are tender--about 40 minutes.
• Remove soup from heat and puree in the pot with an immersible blender, or, puree soup in a blender in small batches. Return soup to pot.
• Return soup pot to medium-low heat. Add brown sugar, salt, and pepper, stir well to dissolve sugar, and reheat to eating temperature. Serve with cheese crumbles on top. Bleu cheese, roquefort, gorgonzola and fontina cheeses all taste delicious paired with this soup. Crack a bit more black pepper on each bowlful before eating.
• NOTE: This soup keeps well. You can make it a day ahead and store in a covered crockpot crock in the refrigerator. Reheat later in the crockpot for serving.
