I have these parsnips. I was going to do a mash, but we are not planning on having the stew that goes with it. Found this potentially nice soup recipe I may use instead. Spicy Roasted Parsnip SoupNo dairy, vegetarian if you use vege stock, low cost, very easy and so yummy! What more would you want? 2 Tblspn olive oil 1 tspn coriander seeds 1 tspn cumin seeds 0.5 tspn turmeric 0.5 mustard seeds 1 large onion, cut into 8 chunks 2 garlic cloves 700 g parsnips cut into 2cm dice 2 large carrots, cut into 2cm dice 2 tomatoes, quartered 1.2 litres vegetable or chicken stock 1 Tblspn lemon juice sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Preheat oven to 220 degrees. In a bowl, mix the oil and spices. Add the veggies and mix well. Spread over a heavy baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes until tender. Place into a food processor with half the stock and process until smooth. Pour into a pan with the remainder of the stock and heat until barely simmering. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Garnish with cumin seeds if desired. This can be frozen like most soups.

I ate this last night. It was very nice.
There is really not much to it except cutting up some parsnips and carrots. It is like something you start and then come back to while you do something else.

Butter bean, parsnip & speck gratinPreparation Time 20 minutes Cooking Time 40 minutes Ingredients (serves 8) * 12 (about 2.5kg) parsnips, peeled, cut into 2cm lengths * 1L (4 cups) milk * 6 whole cloves * 250g speck * Melted butter, to grease * 3 x 300g cans butter beans, rinsed, drained * 125ml (1/2 cup) thin cream * Salt & freshly ground black pepper * 140g (2 cups) fresh breadcrumbs (made from day-old bread) * 25g (1/4 cup) flaked almonds * 20g butter, melted * 1 tbs fresh thyme leaves Method 1. Place the parsnip, milk and cloves in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until parsnip softens. Drain and set aside to cool slightly. 2. Use a sharp knife to cut the speck into 1cm cubes. Cook the speck in a medium frying pan over medium heat, stirring, for 5 minutes or until crisp. Drain on paper towel. 3. Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush a 3L (12-cup) capacity baking dish with melted butter to lightly grease. Combine the parsnip, butter beans, cream and speck in a bowl. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Place in the prepared dish. 4. Combine the breadcrumbs, almonds, butter and thyme in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the parsnip mixture. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately. Notes & tips * You can prepare this gratin to the end of step 2 up to 1 hour ahead. Continue from step 3, 30 minutes before serving. Speck (smoked pork) is sold in the deli of most supermarkets. You can use bacon if speck is unavailable.
