Notes
Tip from my kitchen: blend the soup really smooth so it turns nice and velvety. The orange juice and zest add a fresh note – season carefully at the end so the orange only complements the mild kohlrabi and parsnip flavours. I always scatter the crispy roasted purple potatoes over the soup on the plate, so they stay lovely and crunchy.
