Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams parsnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole medium onion
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 1 liter vegetable broth
- 200 milliliters coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Peel and chop the parsnips into 1-inch pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Dice the onion and add it to the pot, sautéing until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Mince the garlic cloves and add to the pot, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped parsnips to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the parsnips are very tender.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and puree in batches.
Return the soup to the pot, if necessary, and stir in the coconut milk.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer to heat through.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme leaves.
