Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 600 grams Parsnips
  • 4 large Pears
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 large Potato
  • 100 grams Creme Fraiche (Or 100 ml cream)
  • 1 litre Vegetable stock
  • ½ Juiced lemon
  • 80 grams Stilton (Or a blue cheese of your choice)

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Pre heat oven to 220℃ (430℉)
  • Cut the parsnips into wedges
  • Peel, core and cut the pears into quarters
  • Peel and quarter the onion

To Make

  • Mix all three in a bowl with the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place on a baking tray and roast for 35 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally until lightly brown. Put ¼ of the vegetables to the side for garnish, chop to uniform small size
  • Peel and chop the potato into 1cm cubes. Place to one side in a bowl of water to prevent browning
  • When the roasting is done, bring the stock to the boil over a high heat and add the potato cubes. Add the roasted mix too, and reduce heat to a slow simmer. Cook for 15 -20 minutes, stirring occasionally
  • On the lowest heat, add the creme fraiche, lemon juice and crumbled cheese. Mix well until cheese has melted. Blend the soup well with a stick blender until smooth

To Serve

  • Garnish with saved and finely chopped roasting mix and perhaps a drizzling of olive oil. Alternatively, elevate the dish with one of my Pasta Toppers. See recipe index for a choice of toppers

Notes

  • For a non vegetarian addition to this recipe, place 6 rashers of bacon on a tray and place in the oven with the roasting veg until well done. Remove from oven and cool and sprinkle over the top of the finished soup.
