help me with my parsnip soup!

[mandimoo]

i sweated onions and celery in olive oil, added chopped parsnips and topped it up with veg oxo and coconut milk made from coconut block. its currently simmering away with a lid on but its all scummy and the coconut milk looks to have curdled. will it be ok when i blitz it with a blender d'ya think? or should i ditch it? the coconut block when i opened the box, seemed to have separated into a softer, very white bit, and a much harder, beige coloured bit. do you think the coconut block was spoiled? smelt ok.

Not sure mandi, I'd be tempted to bin it :0(

Taste coconut milk from container to test. Sounds like it should be ok - blitz if necessary. Your ingredients are quite rich for a soup?

[mandimoo]

the ingredients were actually even richer than stated above, i forgot i put cayenne pepper and ginger in too. once i blended it, it was fine and very delicious dressed with a swirl of sesame oil. rich? ...probably..., but just the way i like it!

I made cream of parsnip soup today, put real single cream in it, it was delicious.
