What do you do when your spouse opens the fridge door, picks up a couple of parsnips, hurls them at you (in a friendly way that is) and challenges you to come up with a tasty dish in 30 minutes or less.

Jeez, it’s like being on Masterchef Kitchen. Getting challenged can be quite exciting. It sends your creative juices flowing. And that’s a good thing in my books.

So it was on this springy Wednesday evening. I was set this challenge to do something culinary with a couple of Parsnips found in the refrigerator.

I thought to myself: how about I come up with a healthy Parsnip soup that is easy to put together in the 30 minute window allowed…and the clock had started ticking…

Fortunately, I have a Soup Maker (get one if you don’t own one already). Get one here on UK Amazon. I knew I could make this easy healthy parsnip soup in less than 30 minutes. So I got to work.
