PARSNIP AND POTATO WITH SHRIMP SOUP

It is hard to believe, but this is my toddler son’s favorite soup. I had a chance to try this soup, but only a small serving because my son ate the whole soup.   

Serves 4-6
Preparation Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 25-30 minutes

Ingredients:

1/2 lb. small shrimp
1 parsnip,  small diced
1 large potato, small diced
1 tsp. ginger, minced
¼ tsp. fennel seeds, crashed  
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp.  black pepper
1 tbsp. olive oil
5 cups vegetable stock 
1tbsp. chopped dill for garnishing

 
 Put olive  oil in a soup pot over medium heat. When it is warm, add parsnip and sauté it, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add ginger and cook for another minute.


Pour in 5 cups of vegetable stock, potatoes, salt, pepper and bring to a boil, then, adjust the heat, so, the soup
bubbles gently. Let soup cook for 15-20 minutes, then, add shrimp and cook for the final 4 minutes.
 
Taste, adjust the seasoning and serve with fresh chopped dill. 

Sincerely Yours,
Nellie
