Always a busy time of the year, and also very beautiful, with all of the different coloured  autumn leaves and ploughed fields, I do like to make use of  all of the seasonal fruits and vegetables around.
From the lovely blackberries and windfall apples, fresh figs, squash and root vegetables, it really is a time of plenty.

Here is a recipe for for a tasty soup, Parsnip and apple, which my boys love.

Parsnips are fibre rich so alongside their role in weight management, can help lower cholesterol, keep the digestive system healthy and reduce the risk of diabetes.  High in Vitamins C and E they are also a good source of potassium, an electrolyte which is important for every cell in your body, particularly heart health.
