Definitely a new soup I've never heard of but sounds delightful.
That sounds really good.
I bet that apple adds a great flavor. I'd like the curry in it too.
Sounds and looks so good. Always can use a new soup recipe. :)
Looks delicious!-Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
We watch Great British baking show, and the bakers put all sorts of ingredients together. Parsnips and apples must be a great combo.
Gracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
This looks heartwarming. I love ❤️ the Snoopy meme.
I love this combination of parsnips and apples- what a great idea. I would need to adjust the recipe to be vegan, but I could do it I'm sure. I actually bought parsnips last week and never used them. Thanks Jan.
I have to be honest - never have eaten parsnips that I know of.
A wonderful autumnal soup!
A lovely, warming autumn soup, with the sweetness of parsnips balanced by the gentle tartness of apples
The soup looks great, I haven't eaten one like this yet :))
That is so delicious!
Yes, the leaves are falling now,autumnal greetings, Elke.
It sure is soup-weather!!! Brrr.
That British parsnip and apple soup sounds good.
Hello Jan,
The soup sounds good. The leaves are falling here too.
Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
I would never think to put parsnip and apple together but that soup look so good, and perfect now that the colder weather has arrived. I enjoy the Hairy Bikers recipes, I've got a couple of their books.
That would taste nice Jan.
Certainly yes to this soup.
God bless.
The soup is looking delicious. Have a nice day ! greets
Apple and parsnip sounds a perfect combination, and just right for an autumn evening.
Hello Jan :)
This recipe looks so good.
Happy Tuesday to you..
All the best

Great seasonal ingredients.
I’ve never tried parsnip and apple soup together, but I can imagine the sweetness of the parsnips working really well with the apples. It looks like a lovely soup to enjoy on a chilly autumn day.
This looks delicious!
Parsnips are yummy.
Looks like a wonderful soup!
A delicious combination, thanks again Jan. All the best, Denise
