Neal's Yard Bakery Parsnip Soup

Submitted by HeatherFeather

"Adapted from the Neal's Yard Bakery Whole Food Cookbook. According to the book, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, or leek can be subbed for the parsnips in this recipe. This is a thin, but creamy soup. I made it with fresh parsnips and served with some wholegrain bread drizzled with Marmite on the side."
