Gather
  • 6-7 medium parsnips
  • 1-2 large potatoes
  • 1-1.5 litres boiling water (can add some milk when blending if creamier soup is wanted).
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Prepare
  1. Peel the parsnips and potatoes, then chop into rough, bite-sized chunks.

  2. Put the chopped vegetables into a large saucepan and cover with boiling water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and cover the pan. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  3. Carefully transfer the cooked vegetables (along with a ladleful or two of the water) into a jug blender (or use a stick blender), pulse a few times, then blend until smooth. Be mindful of adding hot water to a closed blender - I remove the centrepiece on the lid and then hold the lid with an oven-glove. (You can add some milk for a creamier soup).
  4. Return the blended soup to the pan. Repeat if needed with any remaining vegetables until you have the desired consistency.

  5. Add the salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast and stir in. Put the heat back on for 4-5 minutes and cook the soup through. Do a taste check and adjust seasonings if needed.

  6. Serve and enjoy!
