I'm not a big fan of turnips, but I really enjoyed this soup. The turnips were very mild in flavor and the soup was very creamy and comforting.

This soup is so easy to make and it's so delicious! I love the combination of turnips and leeks. I also added a bit of chopped carrots and celery for extra flavor.
