White Turnip Soup image

This recipe is adapted from the classic French frenseuse, a turnip and potato soup enriched with egg yolks and heavy cream. Select turnips with firm, unblemished flesh. The addition of a few shavings of fresh black truffle, and a star-shaped crouton makes this an unforgettable course.
