This fruity and delicious soup will protect you perfectly during the cold season, as quince provides plenty of immune-boosting vitamin C and contains tannins and tartaric acid, which have antiviral and antibacterial effects. Along with vitamin C, parsnips are rich in potassium, a mineral that helps your heart function, balances your blood pressure, and lowers your risk for kidney stones. It's economical, easy to throw together with a few ingredients and incredibly versatile. Besides parsnip, you can also use pumpkin, root celery, carrot or sweet potato to make the soup.

 

350 g Quince 200 g Parsnip 1 Onion 1 clove Garlic 3-5 cm Ginger root 1 tbsp Butter (or olive oil) 800 ml Homemade broth 1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice Salt and pepper 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar Walnuts, toasted and chopped Parsley for garnishing

1. Rub off the fuzz of quinces with a piece of kitchen paper. Wash and dry the quinces, quarter them, cut out the core and dice the quarters. Peel the parsnip, onion, garlic and ginger and also dice everything.
2. Sauté the onion, garlic and ginger in the hot butter until translucent. Add in the quinces, parsnip and cook briefly. Pour in broth and simmer for about 20 minutes until soft.
3. Puree the mixture with a stick blender. Depending on the desired consistency, you can simmer the soup a little longer or add in more broth. Taste and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
