Parsnip Soup

We've got quite a few of those discount parsnips which MrShoestring picked up before Christmas which are starting to look past their best, this soup is an ideal way to use them up.

8oz parsnips

1 carrot

1 potato

1 onion

1 bay leaf

bit of oil

15fl oz stock

15fl oz water

mace 

pepper

Chop the onion, potato, carrot and parsnips into small pieces and fry in oil to brown. Add the stock, water, bay leaf, shake of mace and some freshly ground pepper and bring to the boil, simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and liquids using that great little hand blender I was singing the virtues of yesterday ! Add salt if you like and serve with croutons or french bread !

Just right for the chilly, grey weather we are having !
