This is a very simple but delicious Plant-Based Parsnip and Lemongrass Soup. It’s ideal as lunch with crunchy wholemeal bread and a big green salad, or as a starter to go with the Plant-Based Thai Green Curry that you can find here.
I bought some parsnips and had some lemongrass leftover, so I thought I’d try combining them to see how it would taste. It was yummy, so I’m sharing it with you here. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
