About

This was inspired by a customer describing a soup which she’d had that was “pink, sweet and hot”. We guessed it was something like beetroot mixed with parsnips, and we added the heat with horseradish root. A swirl of crème fraîche at the end will make this purple-coloured soup really attractive.
