Instructions
- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion, cumin seeds, chilli and garlic for 5 minutes, stirring, until the onions have softened. Add the parsnips, stock, lemon juice and zest, and thyme and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Purée in batches or with a wand-style food blender until smooth. Return to the pan, stir in the cream and warm through, being careful not to let the soup bubble as it may curdle. Season.
- To make the parsnip chips, heat enough sunflower oil in a pan to come 5cm up the sides. Fry the parsnip slices in batches until crisp. Drain onto absorbent kitchen paper and use to garnish the soup.
