Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams parsnips
- 2 medium ripe pears
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 liter vegetable stock
- 200 milliliters unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and chop the parsnips into evenly sized chunks.
Peel, core, and chop the pears into small pieces.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and curry powder, cooking for an additional 1 minute to release the flavors.
Add the chopped parsnips and pears to the pot, stirring to coat them in the curry mixture.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes until the parsnips are tender.
Turn off the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer it in batches to a countertop blender.
Stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Return the pot to low heat to gently warm the soup if needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
