As the evenings get shorter and the temperatures drop sometimes you need a bowl of something warm and nourishing to keep you cosy. This recipe ticks that box and also showcases an often overlooked low FODMAP vegetable. The humble parsnip is entirely FODMAP free while also being a good source of soluble and insoluble fibre as well as a range of micronutrients. They also happen to be delicious! Parsnips are great roasted or mashed, but in this recipe we’d like to show how well parsnips are complimented by spice in a soup that will keep those winter chills at bay.

Method
1

Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F

2

To make the seed crunch mix the seeds, pecans, garam masala, maple syrup, egg white and salt. Using a slotted spoon scoop the mixture onto a baking try lined with parchment, leaving the excess egg white behind.

3

Roast seed crunch mix for 20 minutes, tossing once, until golden brown. Leave to cool on the baking sheet.

4

For the soup heat the sunflower oil in a medium saucepan over a medium high heat. Add the ginger and gently fry for 4-5 minutes. Add the spices and fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the parsnip and stock.

5

Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Check that the parsnips are cooked through by piercing with a sharp knife.

6

Blend the soup, add the lemon juice and season to taste. Serve the soup topped with a spoon of the seed crunch, coriander and chilli (if using).
