Step by step
- 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.

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.
