Inspiration from Germany
Step 1
Wash the onion, potatoes and parsnip.
Cut the onion into small pieces.
Cut the parsnip and the potatoes into 2 cm cubes.
Step 2
Preheat your cooking pot, medium heat, add the olive oil. Saute the onions for about 2 min till they are glazed.
Add the parsnip and the potatoes and saute for another 4 min.
Step 3
Add 500ml, of water, add salt, bring it to boil.
Cook it under medium heat for about 20 min.
Step 4
As soon as the potatoes and the parsnip are soft blend the soup in your blender.
Serve the soup. Add if you like add a bit olive oil on top.
Usually I would also add some fresh herbs. However, as the parsnip itself has a lot of flavour I prefer to have it pure.
Enjoy!
* Nutrition details:
Glycemic load (GL): Indicates how much glucose your meal contains and how this will affect the insulin reaction in your body. You can use a total consumption value of 100g GL per day as orientation. Meaning, if you have 3 meals per day, try to stay below the 33g GL per meal to avoid overconsumption of natural sugar. For example one average banana peeled (100g) comes with a GL of 16. One small portion of white rice (40g uncooked) has a GL of 22.
Protein / 100 kcal: In order to have a filling meal and to ensure to achieve the recommended minimum protein intake of 0.8g protein / kg body weight per day a ration of more than 3g protein / 100 kcal is a good orientation for this indicator for each meal.
Vitamins and minerals: Percentages represent the percentage of recommended daily intake (based on FDA’s Daily Value). Mentioned vitamins and minerals have a particular high nutritional density in this dish. Means, if you would only eat this dish for one day, you would easily exceed the 100% of recommended daily intake for the mentioned mineral or vitamin. Please take into account that these values are just for orientation and might vary depending on your individual situation e.g. if you are a professional athlete, pregnant etc.
