Turnip potato and garlic soup is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The turnips and potatoes provide a starchy base for the soup, while the garlic adds a savory and aromatic flavor. This soup is also relatively easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For example, you can add more garlic if you like a stronger flavor, or you can add some chopped carrots or celery for a more colorful soup.

- 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.

WINTER VEGETABLE SOUP WITH TURNIPS, CARROTS, POTATOES AND LEEKS
I use the food mill instead of a blender - immersion or regular - because I love the texture of the soup when it's put through the mill's coarse blade, resulting in a flavorful, colorful mixture that you can almost chew on. But you can use a blender to purée the soup. The texture will be coarsest - which is what you want - if you use an immersion blender.

CHEESY TURNIP AND POTATO GRATIN
Replacing turnip for some of the potatoes not only reduces carbs but also adds another layer of flavor. I also chose to use half-and-half over whipping cream to lighten things up a bit.

TURNIP, HONEY & ROASTED GARLIC SOUP
This is one of my favorite recipe from the UK brand of soup 'The Covent Garden Soup Co'. They are sold in cartons in the chilled section over there, and I used to literally live off them when I was in London! The roasted garlic in this recipe marries the turnip perfectly -- it's worth the extra effort and can be roasted in the oven up to a few days in advance (whenever you have the oven going). Enjoy on a cold winter evening...
