This creamy Broccoli & Parsnip Soup is a comforting and nutritious dish, perfect for chilly days. The sweetness of parsnips balances beautifully with the earthiness of broccoli, creating a deliciously smooth and flavourful soup. It’s entirely vegan and gluten-free. Serve it with crusty bread.

Creamy Vegan Broccoli & Parsnip Soup

Treat yourself to a delicious and nourishing bowl of comfort with this creamy Broccoli & Parsnip Soup. The combination of fresh broccoli and sweet parsnips creates a beautifully balanced flavour that is both rich and satisfying. The earthy creaminess of broccoli pairs perfectly with the natural sweetness of parsnips, resulting in a wonderfully smooth and hearty soup. Its velvety texture and warmth make it the perfect dish for chilly days when you need something cozy and wholesome. Best of all, it’s easy to prepare, making it a fantastic option for a quick lunch or light dinner.

I like to serve it with chopped parsley and walnut sprinkled on top. You can also enjoy it with a slice of crusty bread or a drizzle of olive oil .

Broccoli and parsnip are a great combination for soups, as their flavours complement each other beautifully. This soup is not only flavourful and filling but also packed with vitamins and antioxidants, making it a great addition to a balanced diet.

So go ahead and give this creamy, dreamy soup a try, it’s a simple, comforting dish that we hope you’ll love as much as I do!

    Nice but I found it a little bland. Didnt have the lemon thyme leaves though so that probably was a factor. I added more garlic
