Rachael's Caramelised Onion and parsnip Soup



We are getting into colder weather and I love soup. I have the best soup cook book ever and thought I would share some of my favs with you guys!

Plus they are really cheap to make……

Ingredients:

30g Butter
3 Large Onions, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons firmly packed soft brown sugar
1 cup dry white wine
3 Large parsnips
1.25 litres vegetable stock
1/4 cup cream
Fresh thyme leaves to garnish

Method:

1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and sugar and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes. Add the wine and parsnips, and simmer, covered, for 20 mins, or until the onions and parsnips are golden and tender.

2. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 mins. Cool slightly, then place in a blender and blend until smooth. Season. Drizzle with a little cream and sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top. Serve with toasted crusty bread slices.

Also freezes
