Provided by MDSP

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large onion
2 large parsnips
2 large carrots
Large knob of butter
A little olive oil
1 litre Vegetable Stock
Croutons and/or lardons

Steps:

  • Finely dice the onion
  • Chop the parsnip and carrot into small chunks
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan with a little olive oil (to stop the butter burning)
  • Sweat the onion for 10 mins over a low heat. Do not let the onion brown. It should take on a translucent look
  • Add the chopped parsnips and carrot
  • Pour on the vegetable stock (or water and 2 knorr cubes)
  • Bring to the boil and leave to simmer for 30 mins.
  • When the parsnips and carrots are completely soft, remove from heat and allow to cool
  • Pour the cooled mixture into a liquidizer and liquidize until completely smooth
  • Pour the mixture into a clean saucepan, passing it through a sieve first. Use the back of a spoon to push the last of the mixture through. This will create an even smoother soup.
  • Serve with a sprinkling of croutons and/or fried lardons. You can also use chopped pieces of bacon.
