Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 30 minutes

Total time: 40 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil

4 large parsnips (peeled and roughly chopped)

1 small onion

1 celery stalk (roughly chopped)

3 apples (peeled, cored and chopped)

1 cauliflower (fresh or frozen, chopped)

2 garlic cloves

6 cups vegetable stock (or broth, low or no salt)

½ tsp chilli flakes

1 tsp lemon zest

1 can coconut milk

black pepper

Recipe:

  1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the parsnips, onion, celery, apple, cauliflower and garlic and cook until softening, around 15 minutes.

  2. Add vegetable stock or broth, and bring to a boil.

  3. Reduce the heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes. You want the veg to be totally soft.

  4. Use a blender to blitz until smooth and creamy. Pour in the coconut milk, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest, and blend once more to make sure it's all mixed. Serve into bowlswith a crack of black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil on top.
