Curried pumpkin & parsnip soup - an easy to make and delicious soup for the whole family to enjoy making together!

When you've been out in the biting cold, there’s nothing more satisfying than coming home to a tasty bowl of piping hot soup.

This delicious curried pumpkin & parsnip soup is just perfect for this time of year. With a hint of warming curry, it’s mild enough for the whole family to enjoy and a delicious way to get some extra veggies into your little ones.

It's a great recipe for getting the children involved too. Little ones will love helping scoop out the pumpkin seeds, and older children can practise their vegetable peeling skills on the onions and parsnips.

I'm delighted to be hosting this recipe as it's from my friend, Grace of Eats Amazing.

Grace is a superbly talented blogger with so many brilliant ideas, I just don't know how she does it. Her blog, Eats Amazing, started as a place to share the fun bento lunches that Grace makes daily for her two boys, and today it's also packed with fun food tutorials, easy recipes for children and family friendly recipes for all occasions. I love it.

Now, let's make soup!
