Turnip Green Soup Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1/2 lb. smoked sausage, diced (I like Conecuh brand, Original - use more if you like)
1 onion, chopped (3/4 cup)
1 large (27 oz) can seasoned turnip greens*, undrained
2 (16 oz) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
1 (14.5 oz) can Hunt's petite-diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (16 oz) can navy beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 1/2 oz) can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1 (15 oz) can pinto or kidney beans, rinsed and drained (I used pintos)
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt, or to taste
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning, or to taste (such as Tony Chachere's)

Steps:

  • Chop, slice, dice, or drain everything first. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; add the diced sausage and onion and saute until the sausage is lightly browned. Drain if desired. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot, stirring gently just to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, adding more chicken broth or tomato juice if needed for desired consistency. ((NOTE: The recipe as written is somewhat spicy, so feel free to adjust seasonings according to your tastes. The beans listed are the ones I used, but use whatever kind you like, more or less.))

TURNIP GREEN SOUP



Turnip Green Soup image

A truly easy, healthy, delicious and satisfying Southern style soup. Make it for New Year's lunch and substitute black eyed peas for the northern beans and you have the perfect good luck meal..all of you Southerners know what I mean. Cooking time is approximate, the doneness of the greens determines when it's dinner time. I like it to cook a little over 30 minutes, some might prefer it to cook longer, don't cook it to death though. The turkey sausage will become dry. Serve with corn bread (made in a cast iron skillet...It's dinner time y'all!)

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 ounces frozen chopped turnip greens (use fresh if available and feel free to substitute greens. I love mustard greens in this soup.)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans great northern beans
1 1/2 ounces Knorr vegetable soup mix
1 lb smoked turkey sausage
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes (I use the tomatoes with green chilis for a little zest)
4 cups water

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to a large pot and bring to a boil. The reduce heat and simmer for up to 3 hours. Cooking time depends on what consistency you prefer your greens.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and young turnips: Look for turnips with smooth, unblemished skin and bright green tops. Avoid turnips that are soft, shriveled, or have brown spots.
  • Wash and trim the turnips: Cut off the greens and the root end of the turnips. Peel the turnips if desired, although this is not necessary. Rinse the turnips thoroughly under cold water.
  • Chop the turnips into small pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a knife or a food processor to chop the turnips.
  • Sauté the aromatics: Heat some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and carrots and cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the turnips and broth: Stir in the chopped turnips and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the turnips are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Blend the soup: Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, be sure to work in batches and blend until smooth.
  • Season to taste: Stir in salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
  • Serve hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, if desired.

Conclusion:

Turnip green soup is a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy this healthy vegetable. With its creamy texture and slightly sweet flavor, turnip green soup is a perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover turnips or turnip greens. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying soup recipe, give turnip green soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
