Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kg parsnips
- 1 large onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon mild curry powder
- 1.2 liters vegetable stock
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel and chop the parsnips into small chunks for even cooking.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the fresh ginger.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and curry powder. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped parsnips to the pot and stir well to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the parsnips are tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender in batches to blend.
Stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Gently reheat the soup on low, if needed, but do not let it boil.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve with crusty bread on the side.
