CARAMELIZED TURNIP AND APPLE SOUP WITH TARRAGON SOUR CREAM
This soup is very rich in flavour but at the same time light and not filling. The earthy taste of the turnips combines well with the tartness of the apples. The tarragon sour cream makes a strong flavour complement. chicken stock can be substituted for water. I put the sour cream in a squeeze bottle and make designs with it on top of the soup as the soup is thick enough for the sour cream to stay in place. The soup alone, however is creamy enough; for those who don't eat dairy, simply garnish the soup with minced tarragon and lemon zest.

CREAM OF TURNIP SOUP
Because I have alot of turnips in the garden( and dont particularly like them ) I turned them into soup, and delicious it is too!! It would be very easy to sub other veggies...i.e parsnips, cauliflower etc in place of the turnips..But try it with the turnips first, you will be amazed at how great this is; could easily be served at a dinner party, garnish with drizzled heavy cream and chopped cilantro.

CLASSIC TURNIP AND APPLE CASSEROLE
I first had this recipe at my husband's aunt's home back in 1979; got the recipe from her and have been making it to serve with turkey dinner ever since. I love the apples and turnip together! If you want to make it ahead of time, you can; just make it up to the layering stage then cover tightly and refrigerate. Put topping on, though, just before it goes into the oven.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F; butter a casserole dish (or spray with Pam) and set aside.
- Peel and dice turnip (this can be a tough job, as turnips are very dense) and place in a large pot.
- Cover with cold, lightly salted water and bring to a boil.
- Boil until turnip is tender (this takes longer than potatoes, usually), then drain and return to the pot.
- Mash turnip with the 1 tbsp butter and cream; stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar and the cinnamon; set aside.
- Peel apples, core, and slice.
- In prepared casserole dish, layer 1/3 of the turnip, then half the sliced apples, then 1/3 of the turnip, then the remaining apples, then the remaining turnip; smooth top.
- At this point, you could cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for several hours; don't put topping on until you're ready to pop this into the oven.
- When ready to bake, combine topping ingredients in a small bowl until they are crumbly; sprinkle over top of turnip.
- Bake in preheated oven for one hour; serve.

Steps:
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
- Add turnips, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until vegetables start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
- Add paprika, thyme and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
- Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until turnips are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
- Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right turnips: Use young, tender turnips with smooth skin and no blemishes.
- Peel the turnips thinly: This will help the turnips caramelize evenly.
- Don't crowd the turnips in the pan: Cook the turnips in a single layer so that they can caramelize properly.
- Be patient: Caramelizing the turnips takes time. Don't rush the process or the turnips will not develop their full flavor.
- Use a good quality apple cider: The apple cider adds a lot of flavor to the soup, so use a brand that you like the taste of.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as tarragon or chives, add a bright, fresh flavor to the soup.
Conclusion:
This caramelized turnip and apple soup with tarragon sour cream is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The turnips and apples are caramelized until they are tender and sweet, and the tarragon sour cream adds a tangy, creamy flavor. This soup is sure to please everyone at your table.
