question

Can you use mustard powder if you dont have mustard seeds? Many thanks x

Best parsnip soup I've made. Lovely rounded flavour from roasting and interesting combination of spices, which gave a much better flavour than curry powder. I didn't have tomatoes so left those out but followed the recipe otherwise, including the mustard seeds.

Great way to use up the massive parsnips from the garden. I was a bit worried about adding the lemon at the end, but it really elevated an already yummy soup.

This soup was amazing, I cut my parsnips up in my food processor, never worried to much about the size, they were in round bits, easy peasy and was delicious it’s all liquidise at the end anyway.

Delicious soup! Yes it is quite sweet but with added spices it balanced out. Cut my parsnips into 2" pieces and they were perfect after 30 minutes at 200'C
