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.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right turnips: Look for small, tender turnips with smooth skin. Avoid turnips that are large, woody, or have blemishes.
- Peel and dice the turnips: Peel the turnips and cut them into small, 1-inch cubes. This will help them cook evenly.
- Sauté the turnips: Sautéing the turnips in butter or oil will help to bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. Cook them over medium heat until they are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the broth and seasonings: Add chicken broth, water, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the turnips are tender.
- Puree the soup: Once the turnips are tender, use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, be sure to work in batches and hold the lid down with a towel to prevent splattering.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish the soup with chopped parsley, chives, or croutons. Serve immediately.
