- 1 clove Garlic (Chopped)
- 550 g Parsnip (Peeled and roughly chopped)
- 3 Apple (Peeled and grated)

- Thyme (Handful, destalked and chopped)

- Nutmeg (Ground, to serve)
- Double cream (Splash to serve, optional)
Instructions
- Boil the parsnips and thyme in the stock for about 15 minutes in a heavy based saucepan.
- In a frying pan, gently fry off the onion and celeriac. When nearly softened, add the garlic.
- Add the onions, celeriac and garlic to the parsnips and cook until the parsnip is soft.
- Add the butter beans and apple then cook for another 5 minutes.
- Pop everything into the liquidiser with some seasoning. Use more stock if the soup is too thick. If you are using cream, now is the time to add it.
