Instructions

Soup:

  3. Roughly chop the kohlrabi leaves and add them (optional, they can also be left out)
  4. Deglaze with the white wine and let simmer for another 5 minutes
  5. Add the water and bouillon, cover and let simmer for about 25-30 minutes until the vegetables are soft
  6. Puree the soup, add the vegan cream, orange juice and zest, and season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper

Topping:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 C degree
  2. Dice the purple potatoes, chop the rosemary and mix with the remaining ingredients
  3. Spread on a lined baking tray and roast for about 20-30 minutes until crispy
  4. Add to the soup and serve with a little cream and extra orange zest

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.
