Still got parsnips, so...

Parsnip and apple curried soup

Of mine own invention (i.e. what I did have in't cupboard)

1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves (crushed, chopped)
1 tbsp sunflower oil
20 g butter

Melt butter and oil, then add onion and garlic and allow to soften gently.

1 large tsp coriander seed
1 large tsp cumin seed
6 cardomon pods (only the seeds- discard the outer casing)

dry fry the spices until they start to pop. Crush in a pestel and mortar.

Add crushed spices to onion mix, and also add:

1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground tumeric

Then add:

500g parsnips, peeled and chopped
1 cooking apple (about 200-300g) peeled and chopped

Give it all a good mix, and add 800ml stock (again, used Marigold Bouillon)

Simmer for 30 minutes.

Puree and season to taste.

Yummy recipe! I made this today, but as I only had a large dessert apple, rather than the sour bramley cooking veriety, I added some kalongi (onion seed) to the spices, and a squeeze of lemon at the end to combat the sweetness, and it was delicious!
