Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the fruit mixture.

If the crumble starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.

The crumble can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

"This creamy soup provides a light and earthy counterpoint to the richness of the scallops and parsnip puree. The watercress adds a peppery note that cuts through the sweetness, while the crispy croutons offer a textural contrast. Using Jersey Royal potatoes aligns with the regional cuisine and reinforces the casual, comforting mood."
