Ingredients

1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 large parsnip
1 head broccoli, torn into pieces
2 cups green peas
650 ml stock (approx.)
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
2 Tbsp chopped fresh herbs of your choice ( such as parsley, coriander, mint, dill)

Instructions

Finely chop the onion and garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and gently fry them for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel and dice the parsnip, then add to the onion. Sautee for another 5 minutes, then add the broccoli, the stock and bring to the boil.
Cook for 10 minutes, then add the green peas and cook for another 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat, add the vinegar and fresh herbs, then blitz with a hand-held blender until you get a slightly textured soup. Add more stock if the soup is too thick.
Serve warm, garnished with herbs.
