What Changes Can I Make?

• The obvious addition is a generous tablespoon of curry powder or paste for the classic curried parsnip soup.
• Add a medium sized apple. Quarter and core, but no need to peel.
• Add a carrot to the roasting tray.
• Add a couple of cubes of frozen spinach after blitzing the soup, while it is still hot.
• Add a handful of peas after blitzing, so they stay whole.
• Sprinkle a few cumin or pumpkin seeds on top of the bowl when serving.
• Add some chickpeas, white beans or butter beans and either leave them whole, or blitz them in.
• Try adding a little acidity with a tablespoon or two of lemon juice or any vinegar except malt, which is too harsh. Add a little at a time, stirring well, then tasting, adding more if needed
