TURNIP AND POTATO SOUP



Turnip and Potato Soup image

Creamy and savory, there are NEVER leftovers when I make this dish. A great way to incorporate turnips into your diet! If soup becomes too thick, thin with broth, water, or cream.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound bacon, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
2 cups diced onion (1/2-inch dice)
2 cups diced potato (1/2-inch dice)
2 cups diced turnip (1/2-inch dice)
4 sprigs fresh thyme
water, to cover
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup torn kale leaves
1 cup heavy cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until the fat begins to render, about 4 minutes; remove from heat, and drain most of the rendered bacon drippings, reserving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.
  • Return the pan with the bacon and reserved drippings to medium heat; cook and stir the onion in the bacon and fat until translucent, about 4 minutes more. Stir the potato and turnip into the bacon mixture; cook and stir until the potato and turnip pieces are warmed, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the thyme to the saucepan with enough water to cover the vegetable mixture; bring the water to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a brisk simmer until the potato and turnip are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Heat butter in a small skillet. Cook and stir the kale leaves until they wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Stir the kale and the cream into the simmering soup; allow to simmer together another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove thyme sprigs before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turnips. Look for small, firm turnips with smooth skin. Avoid turnips that are large, soft, or have blemishes.
  • Peel the turnips before cooking. Use a sharp knife to remove the skin from the turnips. Be careful not to cut yourself.
  • Cut the turnips into small pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Cook the turnips until they are tender. You can boil, steam, or roast the turnips. Boiling is the quickest method, but steaming or roasting will give the turnips a more flavorful taste.
  • Season the turnips with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic, onion, or thyme.
  • Serve the turnips immediately. Turnips are best served hot.

Conclusion:

Turnips are a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a good source of vitamins and minerals, and they have a mild, sweet flavor that pairs well with other vegetables, meats, and spices. Creamy turnip and sweet potato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is made with turnips, sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, and broth. It is then pureed until smooth and creamy. This soup is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of fiber and vitamin C.
