- Heat the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook for a few mins to soften. Throw in the garlic and ginger, cook for 1 min more, then add the parsnips and spices. Cook for a few mins until fragrant. Pour over the stock and gently simmer for 30 mins. Add most of the cream, bring to the boil, then turn off the heat.
- Blitz the soup until completely smooth in a blender or with a stick blender. The soup can now be chilled, then frozen for up to 3 months. Serve in bowls, drizzled with remaining cream and the olive oil, scattered with cumin seeds, sliced chilli and coriander leaves.
Another idea for parsnips: Creamy parsnip mash
Boil 900g potatoes with 3 peeled, chopped parsnips for 15 mins until tender. Drain well, then mash with a large knob of butter and 4 tbsp crème fraîche or double cream. Season with salt and pepper and serve piping hot.
