Let me introduce you to this big bowl stuffed with warm winter flavors… Because you will just adore this apple and parsnip soup recipe with crunchy cinnamon croutons on top!
This lovely parsnip soup recipe is just great.
I love the surprising sweeter touch in it coming from the apple and the heat from the ginger! And then we have that fresh parsnip, another vegetable that deserves a much better reputation. Be prepared for a piping hot bowl of silky parsnip soup…
Have you ever cooked parsnips before?
Parsnips
Can you find them easily around where you live?
Here in Belgium you can get them practically all year round now. Thank god, I love parsnips so much!
But like I said, I have an inkling that parsnips are being pushed to the background more and more. Probably because there are far more popular vegetables than that.
And that is a pity, parsnip is a true delicacy if you ask me.
Easy Parsnip Soup Recipe with… Cinnamon Croutons?
Yes, I know.
I was just brainstorming about what topping I would use for this delicious sweet and velvety parsnip soup.
Just something to make my picture extra attractive. I first thought about preparing some poached eggs. But I needed the 2 leftover eggs in the fridge for another recipe that day.
Cheese maybe?
No, definitely no cheese.
I am looking for a more exciting and extra savory flavor here.
Thanksgiving
How about mushrooms and walnuts then?
Maybe… Or how about a handful of crunchy autumn croutons flavored with cinnamon? Now that sounds like a really good idea. A cinnamon, apple, ginger and parsnip soup?
Well I don’t know about you but I think that this soup could be a winner!
And also a great Thanksgiving or Christmas starter soup as well!
