Parsnip and bacon soup

3.5 / 5 FROM 2

Parsnips make one of the most luxurious, warming winter soups ever. Keep it warm either in a thermos flask or re-heat it in the office microwave for a couple of minutes on high. I would keep the bacon and chives in a separate container, to add just before eating it.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp Unsalted butter
1 Onion, chopped
1 clove Garlic, peeled and chopped
1 kg Parsnip, peeled and chopped
1 Ltr Chicken stock
150 ml Cream
2 Tbsp Chives
6 Bacon rashers, cooked and chopped
1 Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a heavy-based saucepan and cook the onion (chopped) and garlic (peeled and chopped) for 5-6 minutes until soft.
  2. Add the parsnips (peeled and chopped) and chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, until the parsnips are very tender. Remove the pot from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
  3. Blend the soup in small batches in a liquidiser until smooth, finally stirring in the cream and add a little sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  4. Reheat the soup and stir in the chopped chives and bacon rashers (cooked and chopped).
