Food Monday ~ Parsnip, Chicken & Orange Soup
The days are shortening and soon the trees will don their autumn glory. Warming soups are always welcome at this time of year so again this week we have another one. I hope you like it.
Parsnip, Chicken & Orange Soup
Serves 6
2 onions, peeled and chopped
3 tablespoons Olive oil
10 cloves garlic, halved
8 Parsnips chopped and roasted
3 pints Chicken stock
1 tsp salt
2 oranges squeezed
Black pepper, freshly ground
Heat the oil in a heavy pan, add the onions cover and cook for about 10 minutes until softened but do not allow to burn. Add the garlic cloves, cook for a further 3-5 minutes stirring them occasionally then add pre-roasted parsnips and the chicken stock, season with the salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, then liquidize. Return to pan and adjust seasoning, add the juice of the freshly squeezed oranges and reheat.
