I made soup!

[kaliha]

Or where I'm from: soaup.

Ooh I love a good soup. It really sums up winter for me, with hot petit pain fresh from the oven on a cold and damp day. Nothing better.


Apple and Parsnip Soup

Makes 4 decent sized portions

Apparatus
2 Big Apples (I like raeburns, but whichever you like)
500g parsnips
1 small onion
50g butter
2 veggie stock cubes
1 1/4 pints of water
1 pint of milk

Method
Top and tail the parsnips and chop into little chunks

Core your apple and also chop into little chunks

Melt the butter in a pan on medium heat and when it's all bubbly add the apples and parsnips.

Cover the pan and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occassionally.

Dissolve the stock cubes in the water.

Once the veggies are soft add the stock and simmer on a medium heat for about 15 minutes.

Transfer the lot into a mixer and give it a good old zuzz (that's a technical term thx)

Sieve it back into your original pan removing all the gakky bits

Add the milk, mix well and warm through

Serve.

Conclusion
nom nom nom nom nom nom nom.

Quite pleased with how it came out. Admittedly it's not as good as the Covent Garden soaup (who did the best A&P soaup ever) but it's still yummy.

And you know what, I'm going to go and have some now.
