TURNIP, LEEK AND POTATO SOUP



Turnip, Leek and Potato Soup image

A simple French soup that works well regardless of which vegetable gets the emphasis. This is a simple French soup. If you want to vary the proportions of vegetables you can; it works well whether you emphasize the turnips, as I do here, the leeks or the potatoes. Turnips have a slightly bitter edge, and tarragon makes a lovely sweet garnish. Chives would also work.

Time 1h15m

Yield 16 to 18 demitasse servings or 8 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 large leeks, white and light green part only, halved lengthwise, cleaned and sliced or chopped
Salt to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds turnips, peeled and diced
1 large russet potato (about 3/4 pound), peeled and diced
2 quarts water, chicken stock, or vegetable stock
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf and a couple of sprigs each thyme and parsley
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Chopped fresh tarragon and/or chives for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat and add the onion, leeks and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the turnips, potatoes, water or stock, salt to taste, and the bouquet garni. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender and the soup is fragrant. Remove and discard the bouquet garni.
  • Blend the soup in batches in a blender (cover the top with a towel and hold it down to avoid hot splashes), or through a food mill fitted with the fine blade. The soup should be very smooth. Strain if desired. Return to the pot. Stir and taste. Adjust salt, add freshly ground pepper, and heat through. Serve in small bowls or espresso cups, garnished with chopped fresh tarragon and/or chives.

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.

LEEK, TURNIP AND RICE SOUP



Leek, Turnip and Rice Soup image

This simple, fragrant soup is delicious as thick vegetable soup, not puréed. It becomes a different soup altogether when you purée it, and I like both versions equally.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     one pot, soups and stews, appetizer, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 large leeks, white and light green parts only, cleaned and sliced
1 pound turnips, cut in 1/2-inch dice
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 quarts vegetable stock, chicken stock or water
Salt to taste
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup rice, preferably arborio
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Freshly grated Parmesan for serving (optional)
Garlic croutons for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven and add the leeks. Cook, stirring often, until leeks are beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the turnips and continue to cook, stirring often, until the turnips are translucent and the leeks thoroughly tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook, stirring for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the stock or water, salt, bay leaf and rice. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. If serving as is, add pepper, stir in the parsley and serve, over croutons if desired, passing Parmesan at the table for sprinkling.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turnips. Look for small, young turnips with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid turnips that are large or have cracks or bruises.
  • Peel the turnips. Use a sharp knife to peel the turnips. You can also use a vegetable peeler, but be careful not to cut yourself.
  • Cut the turnips into small pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large pot. You'll need a large pot to hold all of the ingredients. A Dutch oven is a good choice.
  • Sauté the vegetables. Sautéing the vegetables in butter or olive oil will help bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.
  • Serve the soup hot. Turnip leek and potato soup is best served hot. You can garnish the soup with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Turnip leek and potato soup is a delicious and hearty soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying soup, give turnip leek and potato soup a try.
