Soup Number 2

Banana and Parsnip Soup

This one always gets a funny look when I tell them what it is but after they taste it they love it. It has become one of my most requested recipes.
I came up with recipe after I had roasted some parsnips shortly after making a Banana bread and after tasting both quickly in succession I realised the similarity in texture and even flavours.

ingredients


8oz/250gm carrots, peeled and chopped
4oz/125gm celery, peeled and chopped
12oz/325gm parsnips, peeled and chopped
8oz/250gm bananas
1/2 pint/250ml double cream
juice of 1 lemon
1 heaped teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
salt and pepper to taste
hot sauce to taste for fieryness
2pints/1ltr made vegetable or chicken stock

method


  1. boil and simmer all vegetables in stock until very tender
  2. blend in hand mixer till smooth
  3. add dry spices and cream and re-blend
  4. mash bananas with lemon juice until smooth
  5. add banana mix a little at a time so that flavour of banana doesn't overpower the other ingredients
  6. season with salt and pepper and add hot chilli sauce to personal taste. re-blend again and serve piping hot with fresh crusty bread.
