The combination of parsnip and apple is really delicious. The sweetness cuts through any heat from the spices but still leaves your palate warming. This is a great soup for any occasion. Have a little crusty bread with it or a roll for a satisfying lunch.

In this recipe, we concentrate on using ras-el-hanout, which is a hugely delicious blended spice, typically used in Morocco to pep up your taste buds.
