Instructions

1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.

c) Trim the parsnip, then chop into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer).

d) Peel the garlic cloves.

e) Strip the thyme leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks).

2

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat. Add the onion to the pan and stir-fry until softened, 4-5 mins.

b) Once the onion is softened, add the parsnip, garlic, chicken stock, half the thyme and the water (see pantry for amount) to the pan.

c) Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cover with a lid. Leave to simmer until the potatoes are soft, 20-25 mins.

3

a) Meanwhile, remove the bread from the packaging and pop onto a baking tray.

b) Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until toasted and golden, 10-12 mins. 

c) Once baked, leave to cool for 5 mins before cutting into thick slices.

4

a) While the bread bakes, roughly crush the hazelnuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

b) Heat the olive oil (see pantry for amount) in a small frying pan on medium-high heat.

c) Once hot, add the bacon and fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins.

d) Add the hazelnuts and remaining thyme, then remove from the heat and set aside.

5

a) Once the parnsips are soft, remove the soup from the heat and carefully blend the soup, using a hand blender, until smooth, 1-2 mins.

c) Stir through the truffle zest and three quarters of the creme fraiche, then season to taste with salt and pepper. TIP: If you want your soup a bit thinner, add a splash of water.

6

a) Divide your soup between 2 serving bowls.

b) Top the soup with a swirl of the remaining creme fraiche.

c) Spoon over the bacon and hazelnut mixture from the pan and partially swirl into the soup to resemble a whirlpool.

d) Serve your baguette slices on the side to finish.

Enjoy!
