Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams parsnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 720 ml chicken or vegetable broth
- 240 ml coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the parsnips and cut them into small, even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onions and garlic to the pot and saute until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped parsnips to the pot and continue to saute for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, followed by the thyme, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the parsnips are tender.
Remove the pot from heat and allow the soup mixture to cool slightly.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it is smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender to puree.
Once pureed, stir in the coconut milk and return the soup to a gentle simmer.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
