Carrot & Parsnip Soup 

This easy carrot and parsnip soup is so delicious and so very healthy. 

I love the combination of these two vegetables together, they works so well together and are packed with flavour 

Somehow parsnips and carrot blended give such a velvety smooth consistence and it’s so filling 

It’s a really simple soup – have a go? 

How to make Carrot & Parsnip Soup 

The full recipe is at the bottom of this post 

However you simply fry off your onion & garlic 

Pop in your chopped parsnips and carrots, together with your stock and herbs 

I use thyme as it works so well, fresh or dried it’s up to you 

Fry your onion and your garlic for a few minutes then add your veggies and stock, boil and then simmer 

Then you simply blitz the cooked mix with a stick blender or food processor and voila, smooth flavoursome soup 

Syn free and super tasty!! 

Just look at that amazing colour – enough to brighten any winters day 

Can you freeze Parsnip and carrot soup? 

Yes, yes, yes you can 

This recipe is enough for 4 people. You can easily half it or double it, depending on your numbers 

I tend to freeze portions in container so I can take it to work with me, therefore not tempted to grab something from the supermarket when I’m starving 🙂 

Spicy Carrot & Parsnip Soup 

And please remember that if you fancy spicing up this soup simply add a teaspoon or curry powder or a few chilli flakes or maybe some cumin? Whatever takes your fancy really 

You really can spice it up nicely 

How to serve your soup? 

It’s lovely hot on a cold winters day 

If you want to jazz it up a little, dry fry some bacon pieces and add a table spoon swirl of half fat single cream (remember to count it if you are on a programme) 

Or if it’s for a family supper why n0t make a home made loaf and dunk dunk dunk – yum! 

Here’s my No need to knead loaf 

Other Healthy Soups 

I have quite a few lovely soups on my website 

Two of my faves:

1. Healthy Cream Vegetable 

I like to call this my ‘fridge soup’ you know where you need to use up all those vegetables 

2. Butternut Squash and Tomato Soup 

This is lovely and garlicky and quite sweet – very comforting 

You simply roast all the vegetable in the oven and it gives such an intense flavour! Yum
