1 large onion (finely chopped)
50g butter
500g low fat natural yoghurt
1 tbsp clear honey
1 vegetable stock cube

1. To make this easy parsnip soup recipe you should first of all melt the butter in a large pan.

2. Next add the onion and cook until they are soft and golden.

3. Add the parsnips, dash of salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes, constantly stirring.

4. Add 500ml water, the bay leaves and honey, then bring to the boil. Add the vegetable stock cube, reduce heat and simmer for approximately 25-30 minutes until the parsnips are nice and soft.
