Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Fry the onion in butter until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the parsnips, garlic and curry powder, and fry for a couple of minutes to release the flavors. Mix the bouillon cube into the boiling water, and pour into the saucepan. Stir to remove any bits of vegetable from the bottom of the pot. Simmer for 15 minutes or until parsnips are soft and easy to break with a wooden spoon.
- Remove from the heat, and blend with a hand mixer or immersion blender. Stir in the cream, and heat through. Do not boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with red pepper flakes or paprika.

Tips:
- Choose the right parsnips: Look for firm, smooth parsnips with no blemishes or bruises. Avoid any that are soft or shriveled.
- Peel the parsnips thinly: This will help the soup to cook evenly and prevent the parsnips from becoming stringy.
- Use a variety of spices: The combination of cumin, coriander, and turmeric gives this soup a warm and flavorful taste. Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as ginger, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
- Don't overcook the parsnips: They should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked parsnips will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup. Parsley, cilantro, and chives are all good options.
