Method
- Melt the butter in a pot set over a low heat, then add the parsnips and let them cook for a few minutes to catch a little colour. Pour in the hot water, milk and cream and season with salt, pepper and a little freshly grated nutmeg. Cook until the parsnips are completely softened, then blitz until smooth with a hand-held blender. Stir in the grated Parmesan until it melts.
- Meanwhile, toast the flaked almonds in a hot dry pan for a few minutes, until they turn golden. Tip out onto a plate and set aside. 3. Serve the soup piping hot in warmed soup bowls. Garnish with the toasted flaked almonds.
Serves: 12-15 (as a starter)
