Recipe Description From Sarah

Me and my flatmate decided to throw together all the veg we hadn't eaten to make this soup. As well as being a heathy option, this soup doubles up as a great Halloween treat for childrens partys as we found it looks a lot like green slime. Great for getting veg into children.

Ingredients

500g potato
180g baby spinach
2 large leeks
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
2 large parsnips
2 pints veg stock
1tsp english mustard (optional)
salt and pepper (optional)

Method

Chop the potatos and parsnips into quarters and boil in water until the potato starts to break up. Then drain, mash and stir in the mustard. Leave this to one side.

Steam the leeks, onion and garlic together in a splash of water. When leeks begin to soften add the spinach until cooked.

Using a liquidiser, liquidise half of the potato/parsnip mix with a quater of the stock, then add half of the leek/spinach/garlic/onion mix. Add another quater of the stock and liquidise further. Add the rest of the potatoes with the rest of the stock and leek/spinach/garlic/onion mix and liquidise until smooth.

Pour back into a saucepan and reheat when ready to serve.

Salt and pepper can be added to taste

Parsnip Recipes

	Chilli Non Carne Not everyone wants to use minced beef or Quorn for a chilli, so here's a meat-free version that's proved a hit with even dedicated carnivores.
	Lentil Dahl This is a warming autumn supper, packed with nutrients from the lentils and veggies, giving your system a real boost.
	Mushroom And Winter Veg Pie This is a real winter warming treat. The flavour from the mushrooms makes the dish, so it’s important to get a variety of them, with strong flavours – no button mushrooms here, thank you…
	Parsnip And Chickpea Curry This is a great way to use winter root vegetables. Cooked slowly, they can develop a lovely sweet flavour, which works well as a curry.
	Pureed Swede With Cheesy Crust Many people are put off by childhood memories of swede – often confused with turnip. Yet its yellow-orange flesh can be delicious. This recipe tops pureed swede with a crunchy cheese and seed crust, to add some variety and extra vitamins. Also works well with turnip, parsnip or celeriac.
	Roast Parsnip Roast Parsnip is a delicious and simple way of serving this autumnal vegetable. The roasting cooks the parsnip slowly, making them even sweeter than they already are. Throw in a few spare carrots and double the veggie quota.
	Root Veg And Bean Stew This ragout (stew) is great because, after the initial cooking, you just bung it in the oven and get on with something else.
	Root Vegetable 'Crumble' with Cheesy Topping This is a delicious recipe for baby or Chantenay carrots and other roots veggies. The secret ingredient gives it a warming kick. Make the most of your turnips, swedes, parsnips and sweet potatoes. You can also use celeriac or kohlrabi.
	Swede And Parsnip Soup This simple soup makes a hearty meal on a winter's day. You can experiment by adding herbs and spices of your choice.
	Winter Vegetable Minestrone Soup Minestrone is a traditional, chunky soup, served with soup pasta. We often think of it as a summer dish, but with a little lateral thinking, you can create a soup that brightens up any winter’s day.
