    Well, having read fabulous reviews, I was looking forward to this soup. How disappointed we were. I found this dish bland and tasteless. I wont be making this again.

    A lovely soup. Next time I will use ground spices as I found the seeds hard to liquidise with a hand blender. Also, the soup was quite sweet, probably the addition of a chili would counter that a bit. Easy to make.

    This was pretty good soup, but I did find that the seeds remained as little hard surprises after blending, and if I made it again I would grind them a little with a pestle and mortar before roasting.

    Wonderful! I Didn't bother with the oven part, instead I just put everything into a big pot on the hob (didn't add any oil - I'm on a diet!!) and boiled all the ingredients, then simmered for an hour, then used a hand blender directly in the pot to make the soup all smooth and yummy - delicious and very easy!

    Tasted lovely - worth the time it takes to chop and roast the parsnips. I found that the recipe made more than four portions.

    Really didn't like this, the timing of the parsnips meant that they burnt, need a lower temp in the oven and meant the soup had a funny taste. If boiled instead it might work.

    Simple to make and delicious. I didn't have any lemons so I used an orange instead - I think it worked!

    Warming with a lovely deep flavour, however I would use a pinch of chilli next time to balance the sweetness of the parsnips.

    Very easy and very popular with veggy guest and carnivorous husband alike.. Added extra onion and garlic for more flavour and french bread croutons fried with best olive oil.

    I have tried this three times, and I am just not impressed. I would recommend using chicken stock instead of vegetable to get more flavour, but even then its nothing special. To me, this is a simple, healthy and good soup, but nothing above average.
