Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams parsnips
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 750 ml chicken or vegetable broth
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the parsnips and chop them into small chunks, approximately 1 to 2 inches each.
Peel and finely chop the onion.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the chopped parsnips to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the pot and bring it to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the parsnips are tender.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the coconut milk.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender and blend in batches.
Once smooth, stir in the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Return the pot to low heat to gently reheat the soup if necessary.
Serve the soup hot with an additional sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves on top if desired.
