Instructions
CARROT PARSNIP SOUP INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or stock pot. Add chilli flakes and diced onion. Sauté until onions start to soften. Add garlic and ginger, saute for 1 more minute. Add in carrot, celery, parsnip and sweet potato and season with salt and pepper. Coat veggies with onion mixture and cook for several minutes. Add in a splash of water to get things moving.
- Once veggies start to soften add in vegetable stock and water. Season again. Bring to a boil, reduce to medium-low heat and simmer until vegetables are fork tender. Approximately 20 minutes. Add in coconut milk and stir to combine. Cook for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat.
- Ladle half the soup mixture into a blender. Place a kitchen towel over the lid of the blender for extra insurance and pulse together until a smooth puree forms. Transfer to a small pot and continue until all the soup is pureed. Season once again with salt and cracked pepper.
- Ladle into bowls. Serve with a drizzle of cashew cream and good olive oil and chilli flakes.
CASHEW CREAM METHOD
- Place ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
