Method
step 1
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat. Once melted, stir in the shallots and cook for 4-5 mins until softened. Mix in the garlic, ginger and chilli flakes and cook for 2 mins until fragrant. Stir in the parsnips, potatoes, miso and stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and let it gently blip away for 15-20 mins until the vegetables are tender.
step 2
Blitz until smooth using a hand blender and season. Will keep chilled for up to four days or frozen for three months. Keep warm on a low heat while you make the croutons.
step 3
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the sourdough, sesame seeds and oil onto a baking tray with some seasoning and toss together using your hands until well coated. Toast for 12-15 mins until crisp and golden brown. Ladle the soup into bowls and dollop over the yogurt. Scatter over the coriander leaves and croutons to serve.
