Ingredients

1Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Large White Onion, peeled and finely chopped
3 Parsnips, peeled and chopped
3 Large fresh beetroot, peeled and chopped
800ml Veg Stock
200ml Almond Milk
1 Tbsp Maple Syrup
1 Tsp Mild chilli powder
1 Tsp Horseradish sauce

Instructions

Fry off the onion in the olive oil until translucent. Add the cubed parsnip, beetroot and maple syrup. Add the stock and simmer for 15 mins. Make sure it’s no more than this as the beetroot will turn redder than a lovely deep pink.

Once simmered allow to cool slightly, add the milk, horseradish and chilli powder and transfer to a blender. You might need to do this in batches. Blend until you have a smooth soup. It should be thick but not too thick, so add a little more liquid if a bit too thick. Transfer back to a pan to heat up, seasoning well at the end. Serve with rye bread.
