Preparation
- In a heavy soup pan, heat up the oil and add the onions. Cook on medium heat till the onion start to brown a little. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the sliced parsnip and keep cooking wile stirring from time to time. The good flavour of this soup comes from caramelising the vegetables, a process that brings their flavours out.
- Add the vegetable broth, the beans and the rosemary leaves, bring to a gentle simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes until the parsnip is totally soft.
- Remove from the heat and let the soup cool down a bit. Use a hand blender to blend the soup to a smooth consistency.
- Before serving, gently heat the soup again and adjust seasoning. Divide to soup bowls, drizzle a bit of virgin olive oil and garnish with some fresh rosemary leaves.
