Best Roasted Parsnip Soup With Chorizo Recipes

CHORIZO AND PARSNIP SOUP

Chorizo and Parsnip Soup image

This is based on a recipe I found in a supermarket magazine. The original recommends serving this semi-chunky so if you don't want to puree the whole batch at the end just do half to keep more texture in the soup. A great use of those winter vegetables. The topping is optional.

Ingredients

225 g spanish chorizo sausage, sliced
1 large onion, chopped
100 g lentils, rinsed (I used red)
550 g parsnips, cut into small chunks
1 liter vegetable stock
1 teaspoon chili flakes
150 g plain yogurt
20 g fresh coriander, chopped

Steps:

Fry the chorizo for a couple minutes in a frying pan.
Drain off any fat and put the chorizo on a paper towel to drain off more fat on the surface of the meat.
Put the onions into the pan and fry for a couple minutes until soft.
In a large saucepan, combine the lentils, onions, parsnips, vegetable stock and chilli flakes.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the parsnips and lentils are soft.
Meanwhile, chop the chorizo into small pieces.
Puree the soup with a hand blender.
Stir in the chorizo and top with the yogurt and coriander mixed together if you like.

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

2 pounds parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup whole milk
½ cup heavy cream

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Place the parsnips and carrots into a mixing bowl, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat the vegetables with oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables evenly over a baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven until the parsnips are tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened and the onion is beginning to turn golden brown, about 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the butter, garlic, brown sugar, and the roasted parsnips and carrots. Continue to cook and stir until all of the vegetables are very tender and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
Season with the ginger, cardamom, allspice, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper; stir for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken stock, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and simmer gently until all of the vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes.
Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
Stir in the milk and cream. Return to a simmer over medium-low heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
