    Thermomix Cream of Parsnip Soup

    Jump to recipe

    This soup was on the July 2014 and May 2015 ThermoFun Cook Alongs.  Many participants said they had never had parsnip before and were very sceptical about trying this soup!  I have to agree as before I stumbled across this recipe I’d never even bought a parsnip.  Everyone on the Cook Alongs were just amazed at how beautiful and creamy this Thermomix Cream of Parsnip soup is.

    I really love the crispy bacon on top of this soup – the bacon can be either fried in a frypan or cooked in the microwave.
