Impress guests or enjoy solo - this flavorful curried parsnip soup is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
  • 20g unsalted butter
  • 20.00 ml yellow mustard seeds
  • 10.00 gm Madras curry powder
  • 2 leeks (white part only), sliced
  • 4 parsnips, peeled, sliced
  • 1L (4 cups) hot water or Massel chicken style liquid stock
  • Dash of pure cream (optional)
  • 12 fresh curry leaves (see Notes)
  • 2 parsnips, peeled, trimmed, cut lengthways into quarters (and crossways if very long)
  • 28.60 gm runny honey
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 220C. Spread parsnip pieces on a baking tray, drizzle with oil, and roast for 30 minutes until tender, giving them a turn or two. Finish by tossing with honey and roasting for an extra 5 minutes until crisp and caramelized.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until sizzling. Stir in the mustard seeds, curry powder, and turmeric, cooking for 1 minute. Add the leek and sauté for 5 minutes before tossing in the parsnip to coat evenly.
  • Pour in a flavorful hot water or stock, season generously, and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes until parsnips are tender. Let it cool for 5 minutes, then puree in a blender until velvety smooth. For extra richness, stir in a dash of cream to your liking.
  • Transfer the soup back to the pan with the curry leaves, gently warm over low heat. Serve in bowls, garnished with honey-roasted parsnips.
