How To Make Jamie Oliver Parsnip And Apple Soup

In a large pot, melt the butter and sunflower oil over low heat. Add the chopped onions and parsnips. Cook gently for 15 minutes until the onions soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped apples. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring often.
Pour in the vegetable or chicken stock. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes or until the parsnips are soft.
Remove the pot from the heat. Season with salt and pepper. Use a blender to puree the mixture until smooth.
Stir in the milk to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
