Curried Parsnip and Apple Soup

At this time of year when the parsnips are in season and the apples are at their best,  I love to make a 'winter warmer' soup - curried parsnip and apple.

You need:

Onion
Garlic clove
Parsnips
Cooking apples
Vegetable or chicken stock (Bouillion or stock cubes are fine)
Curry paste (I use Rogan Josh)
A little sunflower oil or butter

Method

Prepare the vegetables and fruit
Heat a little oil or butter in a large pan
Add the onion and garlic and sweat with a lid on the pan
Add the chopped parsnips and continue to sweat for about ten minutes
Stir in a rounded teaspoon of curry paste
Add the chopped apple
Pour over approximately two litres of hot stock and bring to a simmering point
Simmer gently until the parsnips etc are soft
Use a blender stick to puree the vegetables
Stir gently
Serve with a swirl of cream or yogurt
