Ingredients Needed:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 3 cups parsnips, peeled and chopped
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, seeds removed and chopped
How To Make Spicy Parsnip Soup In Soup Maker:
- Sauté the spices and onion: If your soup maker has a sauté function, add the butter, onion, cumin, and paprika to the jug and press the sauté button. Cook until the onion softens.
- Alternative: If your soup maker doesn’t have a sauté function, sauté the onion, cumin, and paprika in a pan on the stovetop over medium heat until the onion softens (about 5 minutes). Then transfer the sautéed mixture to your soup maker.
- Add the rest of the ingredients: Add the chopped parsnips, vegetable broth, cream, and chopped chipotle pepper to the soup maker. Stir to combine.
- Cook: Select the ‘Smooth Soup’ function and press start. The soup maker will blend and cook the soup in about 20-30 minutes.
- Serve: Once the soup is finished, serve immediately. Enjoy with a side of crusty bread!

Recipe Tips
- Adjust the spice: For a milder version, use only half of the chipotle pepper. If you like it spicier, add an extra pepper or some chili flakes.
- Dairy-free version: Substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or a dairy-free cream alternative for a lighter, dairy-free option.
