Steps:
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the onion until soft but not coloured. Stir in the parsnips, bay leaves, milk and stock, bring to the boil and simmer gently until the parsnip is very soft. Remove the bay leaves and drain off, but reserve, the liquid. Whizz the parsnips in a blender, adding a little of the cooking liquid at a time until smooth. Keep adding liquid until you reach a lovely soup consistency that's not too thick.
- For the parsley purée and cream, blanch the parsley in boiling salted water for 30 secs, then refresh in ice water - this keeps the green colour. Repeat this twice. Bring the double cream to the boil. Squeeze out any water from the parsley, then whizz in a clean blender, slowly adding the hot cream until it's as smooth as you can get it. Cool. Fold a little of the parsley purée through the whipped cream until nice and green. Season and chill. Keep the remaining purée for serving.
- For the garnish, blanch the parsnip cubes in boiling water for 2 mins, then drain. Heat the olive oil in a pan, and fry the cubes until golden. Keep warm.
- To serve, reheat the parsnip soup and season to taste. Place a little of the parsley purée into each of 6 shallow soup bowls, followed by the soup, a spoonful of the parsley whipped cream and some fried parsnip cubes.

APPLE AND PARSNIP SOUP WITH CORIANDER
Steps:
- Melt butter in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add apples, parsnips, onion and coriander and sauté until slightly softened, about 12 minutes. Add 4 cups broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until apples and parsnips are tender, about 40 minutes.
- Puree soup in blender in batches. Return puree to saucepan. Thin with more broth if desired. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm over medium heat before continuing.) Season soup with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with parsley; garnish with apple slices if desired and serve.
Tips:
- Select fresh and firm parsnips: Look for parsnips that are smooth and free of blemishes. Avoid any that are soft or have signs of sprouting.
- Roast the parsnips before making the soup: Roasting the parsnips brings out their natural sweetness and adds a depth of flavor to the soup.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth you use will greatly impact the flavor of the soup. Choose a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When roasting the parsnips, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will help them roast evenly.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished cooking, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Garnish the soup before serving: A simple garnish of fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, can add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.
Conclusion:
