Curried Parsnip Soup recipe?

For some reason I'm completely craving parsnips lately, and the idea of a curried parsnip soup is especially appealling. Anyone have a recipe for it that they love?
Thanks in advance.

    I love the recipe in Jane Grigson's cookbook, Good Things:

    I make it with homemade beef stock -- divine.

        Could you garam masala in place of the curry powder or are there more ingredients in the curry powder than the components of the garam masala?

        I like this parsnip soup recipe. Tastes rich even though there is little fat in it. You could easily add curry. The recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...

          Here's the recipe I use for curried sweet potato soup - you could just substitute parsnips.

          2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
          1 yellow onion, diced
          some curry powder
          4 cups of vegetable or chicken stock
          some yogurt
          1/4 cup of cream
          Some butter

          Saute the onions in butter in a large pan about 10 - 15 minutes. Add the curry powder then the sweet potatoes. Stir together for a couple of minutes. Add stock. Cook for 45 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender. Take off the heat. Blend until smooth. Stir in cream, s & p to taste. Garnish with dollop of yogurt. Add snipped chives if you're feeling sassy.

            I don't have a recipe, but some diced tart apples as garnish might be a nice addition.
