Parsnip Bacon And Apple Soup Recipe 45

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Spread parsnips and apples out onto prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle with kosher salt. Toss to coat.
• Roast in preheated oven until parsnips and apples are tender and caramelized around the edges, about 30 minutes.
• Stir apple-parsnip mixture, chicken broth, and potato together in a large pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
• Puree apple mixture with an immersion blender until soup is smooth. Stir cream into soup and season with cayenne pepper and salt; cook until heated through, 2 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook 2 strips chopped thick-cut bacon in vegetable oil over medium-high heat until almost crisp. Add 1 thinly sliced onion; cook until softened. Add 1 pound parsnips (peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces), 2 sliced celery stalks, and salt and pepper. Cook until lightly browned, 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth;simmer until mostly reduced, 10 minutes. Add a little water; stir in 1 tablespoon butter, some chopped parsley and thyme, and salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat saucepan and spray with cooking spray. Stirfry onion until soft and golden, adding a little water if needed to prevent sticking. Add parsnips and apples and cover with the stock. Bring to the boil and simmer 45 minutes, covered. Blend. Stir in the milk, add the chopped ham and heat through.

Steps:

• Fry the rashers of bacon in the oil until crisp. Scoop out half the bacon and set aside until later. Add the onion and garlic to the pan, stirring until tender, then add the parsnips. Cook for another 5 mins, then crumble in the chicken stock cube. Add the milk, 600ml water, the thyme and chestnuts. Cover and simmer for 30 mins until the parsnip is tender. Blitz with a hand blender, then season to taste. Ladle into bowls and top with the reserved bacon.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine parsnips and apples. Dot with butter. Roast until parsnips and apples are tender and golden, about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Toss with orange zest, orange juice, and cinnamon; season with salt.

Steps:

• Make soup:
• Peel potato and cut into 1/4-inch dice. In a heavy kettle cook potato, parsnips, shallots, leek and parsley in butter over moderate heat, stirring, until leek is softened, about 12 minutes. Add broth and simmer, covered, 20 minutes, or until vegetables are very soft. In a blender purée mixture in batches and transfer to a large saucepan. Stir in cider or juice, cream, and salt and pepper to taste and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Keep soup warm.
• Make fried parsnip:
• In a heavy saucepan heat 1 inch oil to 360°F. on a deep-fat thermometer and fry parsnip strips in batches until golden brown, transferring with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Season fried parsnip with salt.
• Serve soup topped with fried parsnip.

Steps:

• In a soup pot or Dutch oven, sauté onions in butter over medium heat until translucent, and then add wine. Allow the mixture to reduce until most of the liquid has evaporated, and then add parsnip, apple, potato and sage to the mixture.
• Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, or until vegetables have softened and have taken on a slight color. Add the stock and reduce heat to medium-low. Bring the stock up to temperature. Slowly add the half-and-half to the warm mixture. Do not allow soup to boil after adding the half-and-half as it could curdle.
• Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture smooth. Add enough stock or water to achieve the consistency you desire up to another full cup. Garnish with sliced green onion.

Steps:

• Peel and core 2 apples, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add shallots; sauté 3 minutes. Add parsnips; sauté 3 minutes. Add apple pieces and coriander; stir 1 minute. Add 5 cups broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are very tender, about 25 minutes. Cool slightly.
• Working in batches, puree soup in blender until smooth, thinning with more broth by 1/2 cupfuls as desired. Return soup to pot; bring to simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, cut remaining apple (with peel) into thin slices. Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle soup with yogurt. Fan several apple slices on top and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and the oil in a large pan.
• Add the onion, carrot and parsnip and cook gently for 5-6 minutes until softened but not browned.
• Add the bacon and stock and bring to the boil.
• Simmer for 25-30 mins until the vegetables are completely soft.
• Puree the soup in a blender until smooth and return to the pan. You may have to do this in batches.
• Add pepper to taste, the bacon is fairly salty, so you probably won't need to add extra salt to the soup.
• Serve hot with croutons and a swirl of cream if desired.
