Pear & Parsnip Soup - Week 27, 2017

This thermomix pear and parsnip soup does NOT need any long winded introduction!  You just need to cook it, sit down and enjoy it!  All my taste testers have come back saying how wonderful it is!

One taste tester emailed me saying she even served it up to her parsnip hating friend!

"F#@kin' unreal.  Never thought that I would eat this - never, ever, ever.  Then asked if she could have the leftovers for a dinner she is having tomorrow night."

and another one:

"Blown away as I hate parsnips and haven’t had them in my house for 30 years!!"

So as you can see this one was a winner among a few households!  Let me know what you think of it.

Oh and serve this up with some extra toasty crusty bread - because you will want to be licking the bowl clean!  :D
