    I love this soup, especially in the autumn/winter, its a great standby when you have parsnips lying around.

    If you looked up 'warming, comforting soup' in the dictionary, there would be a picture of this beside it! UNBELIEVABLE! (Leftovers? Bake a potato and top with good cheddar and some steaming hot soup! [seriously, it sounds weird but it works!!])

    Really tasty - add a few carrots to the roasting mix to give the final soup a warm orange glow. Yum.

    Slight Variation: I didn't use the tomatoes and used my fresh turkey stock from christmas. (ok if you dont have vegetarians dining with you) and added fresh cream instead. Fantastic! A real hit in our house on New Years Day. My husband enjoyed it so much and he doesn't even eat Parsnips..well he does now! Also my 4 year old happily muched on them after they were roasted and cooling (before i put them in the food processor). The spices really lift the vegatable. Its a great side dish to accompany a roast or indian meal if you just roast in the spices and not turn into a soup. Enjoy! We did...

    I didn't roast the parsnips, but did it all on the hob. It is delicious. I will make it again.

    Really tastey and easy to make. My parsnips took longer to cook than said so removed other veg and continued to roast - probably because i didnt cut them up small enough!! Ididnt have mustard seeds so used holegrain mustard instead - worked fine! Would definately recommend!

    Delicious! Although mustard and coriander seeds needed more liquidising.
