🌱 Ingredients
- 3 medium parsnips, peeled and chopped
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/4 cup buckwheat groats (toasted)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
🔪 Instructions
1. Sauté the Parsnips
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped parsnips, turmeric, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until parsnips begin to soften and become fragrant.
2. Simmer
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until the parsnips are fork-tender.
3. Toast the Buckwheat
While the soup simmers, toast the buckwheat groats in a dry skillet over medium heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring often, until golden brown and crunchy. Set aside to cool.
4. Blend and Finish
Remove the soup from heat. Using an immersion blender (or transfer to a standard blender), blend until smooth. Stir in the coconut milk, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve
Ladle into bowls and top with toasted buckwheat for texture. Optional: drizzle a swirl of coconut milk or olive oil for extra richness.
