Ingredients

  • 50g/2oz vegan margarine, eg Pure, Tesco, Biona OR 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 5 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 large Bramley apple, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 litre veg stock (eg Marigold Boullion – red or purple tubs; Green Oxo; Kallo vegan)
  • 600ml/generous 1pt soya milk

Optional:

  • 2 tbsp white wine
  • Dairy-free cream to serve, eg Provamel/Alpro or Oatly

Instructions

1. Melt margarine or oil in a pan, add parsnips and apple and cook for 5-10 minutes.

2. Add stock and simmer for 20 minutes until parsnips are cooked.

3. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

4. Add the soya milk and blend until smooth. Taste – if it’s too sharp from the cooking apple, add an eating apple such as a Cox. If it’s too sweet, add a pinch of chilli powder or a dash of lemon juice.

5. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve with some nice crusty fresh bread.

Did you know that the Vegan Recipe Club is run by Viva!, and that we are a charity?

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.

Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference! Please share our details with your friends and loved ones too, as every donation enables us to keep fighting for change.
