Curried soups are just the thing for a cold night outside — they provide a warming feeling almost unlike anything else. This recipe is ideal for Bonfire Night and should be served in large mugs.

Ingredients:

50g butter
1 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
700g small parsnips, peeled and chopped
1 medium Bramley apple, peeled, cored and chopped
2 tbsp runny honey
1.5l vegetable stock (or chicken stock)
sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper

Method:

Combine the butter and oil in a large, heavy-based pan and cook until the butter begins to foam. Add the onions and garlic and cook for 2 minutes, to soften.

Dry roast the cumin seeds until fragrant then transfer to a mortar and grind with a little sea salt. Add to the onion mix with the curry powder and ground ginger. Now add the parsnips, apple and honey and cook for a few minutes. Pour in the stock and bring the mixture to boil then reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 20 minutes, or until the parsnips are tender.

Take the soup off the heat and allow to cool slightly. Pour into a blender (you may need to do this in batches) and process until smooth. Return to the pan and allow to re-heat before ladling into large mugs. Serve with garlic bread or Dorset sausage pasties or even bacon butties.
