I took inspiration for this Indian-Spiced Parsnip Soup in the wonderful Love and Lemons Cookbook. In her book, Jeanine Donofrio offers a Curried Parsnip & White Bean Soup that calls for curry powder and cardamom as the main spices. I added my 2 cents on the spices and I laced the soup with coconut milk. I top this Indian-Spiced Parsnip Soup with my Toasted Nuts and Seeds Mix, but feel free to improvise.
