Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 75g chorizo, diced
  • 50 stale white bread, cut into 2cm wide cubes
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 300g parsnips, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 Royal Gala apples by Sainsbury's, peeled, cored and diced
  • 2 Conference pears by Sainsbury's, peeled, cored and diced
  • 800ml chicken stock
  • 60g blue Stilton

Step by step

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan and cook the chorizo for 3 minutes until crisp. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
  2. Add the bread cubes to the pan and coat in the chorizo oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes then turn over and cook on the other side for a further minute. Remove from the heat and cool.
  3. Heat the remaining oil in a saucepan and add the onion and parsnips. Cook for 10 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the garlic, apples and pears and cook for a further 5 minutes.
  5. Add the chicken stock, stir and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the parsnips are tender. Remove from the heat and season.

  6. Blend the mixture along with the stilton in a food processor until smooth. Ladle into bowls and top with the cooked chorizo and croutons to serve.
