  • 2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
  • 800g parsnips, peeled, coarsely chopped
  • 2 pink lady apples, peeled, cored, coarsely chopped

Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Sauté the leek for 5 minutes until just soft. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the parsnip, apple, potato, stock, and 2 1/3 cups (580ml) water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  • Puree the soup with a stick blender until velvety. Gently swirl in 1/2 cup (125ml) cream.
  • Divide the soup into bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and the rest of the cream. Garnish with parsley and extra apple slices. Serve alongside freshly baked bread.
