Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons peanut oil

2 onions -- chopped

3 cloves garlic -- chopped

4 1/8 fluid ounces ginger root -- peeled and chopped

1 stick preserved lemongrass -- chopped

(fresh lemongrass is better if you can get it)

1 red chile -- seeded and chopped

1 1/8 pounds parsnips -- peeled and chopped

1 2/3 cups coconut milk

1 1/2 cups water or vegetable stock

1 teaspoon salt

Natural yogurt

Coriander leaves

 

Warm the oil in the pan and soften the onion, garlic, ginger, lemongrass and

chilli over a moderate heat, uncovered, for about 10 minutes. Add the chopped

parsnips and sweat for about another six minutes, stirring now and then,

covered.

 

Add the coconut milk and water or stock. Simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, or

until the parsnip is soft. Season after about 15 minutes.

 

Use a buzz gun, or puree in the food processor - then, for a very smooth finish,

pass through a sieve. Thin out, if necessary, with a little stock, water or

milk. Serve garnished with the yogurt and coriander.

NOTES : A lot of people like to serve a soup as part of the Christmas meal, so

we have concocted this variation on the classic curried parsnip soup, using the

basic ingredients of a Thai curry. It's deliciously enervating, subtle, and a

perfect starter.
