👩🍳 Step-by-step preparation
Peel the parsnips and cut them into thick slices. Peel the apples 🍏, remove the cores, and then cut them into pieces. Slice the onion. Everything is ready to go!
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil 🧈. Add the onion, stir for 1 minute, then add the parsnips and apples. Sauté for 2 minutes, until they begin to brown slightly – it already smells delicious!
Pour in the hot vegetable stock, add the sprig of thyme 🌿, a little salt and pepper. Cover and simmer over medium heat for about twelve minutes – the vegetables should be very tender.
Remove the thyme sprig. Blend the soup until smooth (using a blender or immersion blender 🥄). Taste and adjust the seasoning. For extra creaminess, add the cream and a few drops of lemon juice 🍋 just before serving.
Serve in pretty bowls, garnish with a drizzle of cream, seeds or golden croutons 🥖. You're going to love it!

❓ FAQ – Parsnip and apple soup, an autumn delight
🍏 Why add apple to parsnip soup?
The apple adds a fruity sweetness and a touch of tartness that balances the sometimes very mild flavor of the parsnip. It's this combination that makes the soup unique and irresistible!
🥛 Can the soup be prepared in advance?
Yes, it keeps perfectly for 3 days in the fridge and even gets better in taste! You can also freeze it in portions for super quick dinners.
🔥 Is it absolutely necessary to add cream?
No, the soup is already very creamy thanks to the parsnip. The cream is optional: plant-based or dairy, depending on your preference. You can also try it with coconut milk for an exotic touch 🥥.
🥄 How to give soup more character?
Add a pinch of curry powder, grated ginger, or a hint of nutmeg. You can also sprinkle with seeds or toasted hazelnuts before serving!
