    I really enjoyed this soup, a real hearty winter warmer. It took a few minutes to get the thicken right, I had to add more water as the parsnips are very fibrous. This is lovely filling soup, so it goes a long way.

    Great, rich flavour! Also cheap, quick, simple to make and hardly any washing up too (I used a hand blender as I hate washing my food processor). Think I'll be doing this one for years to come...

    We had this as a starter on Boxing Day and -- no hyperbole -- it is the best soup I have ever tasted. Brilliant for Christmas. The spices are unbelievable.

    This soup is fantastic, I got a blender for Christmas and it's the first thing I've used it for. I will be making gallons of the stuff! I used ground cumin instead of the seeds, and put a couple of squeezes of tomato puree in instead of using the fresh tomatoes. Heavenly!

    Easy to make and very tasty . I used ground cumin and coriander and tomatoe puree instead of fresh . Imagine the roast vegatables would be very good stirred through some cous cous for a veg meal.

    made this last night - it was delicious. Didn't have mustard seeds so used whole grain mustard as suggested above and it tasted fine. Also used coriander dried leaves as didn't have any ground coriander which seemed to work as it still tasted fine. Definitely make this again

    Delicious, will do again. Doubled the recipe to use up parsnip glut. It is tricky to more than double recipe as oven space is a constraint, so might try it on the hob next time. I seasoned veg with salt and pepper before cooking.
