Lets make soup!


Winter is my favourite time of year, cosy evenings, hot chocolate, candles and comfort food, what isn’t there to love about this season?

This weekend I decided to dust off my slow cooker and cook some yummy soup to prepare for the week ahead.

This week I decided to make a Curried Parsnip, Apple and Lentil soup.

Ingredients:

Parsnips – 500g peeled and roughly chopped
White Onion – I used one large and roughly chopped
Cooking Apple – one, roughly chopped
Tikka Masala paste – I small pot
Sunflower oil – two tablespoons
Chicken Stock (or Vegetable) – in one litre of water
Red Lentils – 140grams

Method:

Put your chopped up onions into a large saucepan along with the sunflower oil and masala pasta and cook for 3 minutes, or until the onions have softened.

Next, put the onions along with the parsnips, apple and stock into your slow cooker.
I left mine to cook on high for three hours.

Once cooked, blitz with either a hand blender or put into a food processor to smooth. If too thick you can add more boiling water.

It should make six servings.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Share your photos if you make it too.
