  STEP 1
  Boil a full kettle.
  Fry the onions in a large pan till slightly golden.
  Add the parsnips, garlic, ginger and curry powder for a further minute.
  Add the bone broth to the pan with the parsnips and bring to the boil before reducing to a simmer.

  STEP 2
  Take the parsnip peelings and dry gently with a kitchen towel.

  Airfry method:
  Put the peelings on a single layer in the airfryer, season and spray with olive oil.
  Cook them at 190° until they are crispy (approx 5-8 minutes)

  Oven method:
  Preheat the oven 200°.
  Put the peelings on a single layer on a baking tray, season and spray with olive oil.
  Cook them until they are crispy (approx 10-12 minutes)

  STEP 3
  Cool the pan with the parsnip soup in.
  Once cool, add the crème fraîche to the pan (but leave some for serving) and blitz the soup until it is smooth using a blender.
  Pour back into the pan and warm through and season.

  STEP 4
  Heat up the flatbreads as per packet instructions.
  Spoon the soup into warm bowls, top with parsnip crisps, protein seed blend, chilli flakes, and a dollop of the remaining crème fraîche.
  Serve with the flatbreads to the side.
