Servings: persons

25 ml olive oil (for frying)
3 medium onions, chopped (600g)

250 ml skim milk

1
on a medium-hot heat in a large pan soften the onions until they are just starting to colour.
2
add the celery and soften (I don't add these before as they hold a lot of water which tends to stop the onions colouring).
3
add the parsnip and soften.
4
add the garlic, pepper, fenugreek, mustard and salt and cook together for a minute or so.
5
add the stock and the potato (I don't add the potato until now as it tends to stick and burn).
6
cook on the medium-hot heat cook until all is soft keep giving it an occasional stir (about 20-30minutes).
7
add the parsley and blend (I use a stick blender, you can use a blending method of your choice).
