Parsnip, Leek and Lemon Soup

From Soup and Beyond
By New Covent Garden Soup Company
published by Macmillan, 1999


I'm behind with the writing, but I've been keeping up the cooking, I promise!

Amazing, amazing soup. So simple, just really like making a leek and potato, but with parsnips instead of potatoes. I threw this together in about half an hour, though it then sat about for an hour or so, so I think the bay leaf flavour was probably more intense than if we'd had it straight away. You would think that this would taste thick and wintery, like a leek and potato, but no, it was creamy and delicate, the overwhelming taste was lemon and bay. Absolutely delicious, and one to add to the repertoire. This is such a great book, so many soups in it are like this, little twists on the regular things I make.
