Delicious. Serves 6 Like most soups, Curried Parsnip Soup can be frozen and just taken out, defrosted and heated through adding the cream after.
I followed this recipe using my pressure cooker as described above, and it produced a really lovely soup; so much so, that it is on the menu now for Christmas Day. Thank you.
