Curried parsnip soup

Instructions

1 Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, add the onions and garlic and fry lightly for 5 minutes until soft. Add the parsnips and cook for a few more minutes, then stir in the turmeric and curry powder. Add the apple and pour in the stock. Lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the parsnips are soft.

 2 Pour the mixture into a blender (or use a stick blender) and purée until smooth. Pour back into the saucepan and reheat, then pour in the coconut milk. Season to taste. Add the coriander and optional dashes of Tabasco just before serving. Serve with crusty bread.
