Hey Soup Enthusiast,

If you have a sweet tooth, this low cost soup is for you.

🍲 Parsnip and apple soup

Apple and parsnip soup is a light soup with the uniqueness of the apple. The flavors work well together and the black pepper, brings the soup together. It is an incredibly sweet soup which needs an earthy herb to counter it’s sweetness.

Parsnip and apple soup wasn’t the easiest soup to put together for me due to my disability.

The hardest part was removing the apple core, the rest of my time was spent peeling and prepping the parsnips and carrots, there where a lot.

Now for the taste test.

I liked this soup, the flavors worked well, and the apple had a nice unique taste which was subtle.

I find it a bit too sweet though.

To counteract the sweetness I added an extra onion and sautéed them for a more earthy and concentrated flavor. I also added thyme which complemented the soup and masked the sweetness further.

The black pepper was a must have in the soup. I needed more than expected but, it adds a depth in flavor which is much needed.

This is a light refreshing soup which is a nice change with the apple flavor.

Now lets take a look at the recipe.

🚀 Your turn to stir the pot

What is your favorite soup?

Last week I asked what your favorite soup is that contains coconut milk, here is what you said.

Curry spinach soup. Saute chopped onions in coconut oil or butter until transparent, add chicken or vegetable stock and some coconut cream. Bring to boil, add your favorite yellow curry cubes or powder. Adjust salt and pepper, then toss in as much baby spinach as you can get the soup to handle.

Moqueca de camarão! (Brazilian shrimp stew over rice) My aunts taught me to make it (and didn’t give a recipe) but it goes a little like this: 1 bell pepper 1 onion 1 head of garlic 2-3 tomatoes 1-2 cans coconut milk Broth as needed to thin (shrimp stock made from your shells, chicken, vegetable) 1 pound peeled shrimps 1 bunch cilantro Lime juice Olive oil Salt Pepper Dice pepper and onion, mince garlic. Sauté in olive oil until very soft. Add chopped tomatoes and half of the cilantro and continue to sauté. Stir in coconut milk and broth. Simmer and season with salt and pepper. Add shrimps and poach in the liquid for a few minutes until just cooked. Turn off the heat. Add remaining cilantro and lime juice to taste. Adjust seasoning. Serve over garlic rice: Sauté lots of garlic in olive oil. Add rice and toast gently. Season well with salt. Add water and cook the rice as you usually would.

Your soup journey awaits,
