This reader’s pear and parsnip soup recipe, is low fat, vegetarian and high in fibre. This easy one pot recipe tastes good and will be a hit with the family.
1 Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the onions. Gently fry until soft. Add the curry powder, pears and parsnips and cook until soft and aromatic.
2 Pour in the stock. Cook, covered, for approximately 30 minutes, or until the parsnips and pears are soft. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
3 Blend with a stick blender or in a food processor. If the texture is too thick, add more stock. Bring back to a simmer. Taste to check the seasonings.
4 Serve immediately with warmed chunky sourdough bread. Garnish with finely chopped parsley or chives.

Louise says: “I made this soup last weekend, and when I sautéd the onions I added a couple of stalks of chopped celery to it as well (as I had a bunch in the fridge). It went down a treat, apart from my youngest boy! It’s a pretty easy soup to make, and has a rather sweet tinge to it, and great fun to get people to try and identify what ingredients are used – no one normally does.”

I added some grated cauliflower, fennel seeds and cumin and served with garnish of chopped coriander.
