Directions

Fry the onions in the oil-butter for about 5 minutes, I prefer not to brown the onions but let them cook and sweat in the oil-butter.

Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes

Add all the spices. I did not have the cardamom so I just left it out.

Add the stock

Add the cubed parsnips

Bring to the boil and simmer for 1 hour.

Put all the soup in a blender

Grate the apple and use as a garnish with the fresh herbs
