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.

Steps:
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, combine the leeks, garlic, carrots, celery, turnips, potatoes, bouquet garni, 1 1/2 quarts water, 2 to 3 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 40 to 45 minutes, until the vegetables are very soft.
- Pass the soup through the coarse blade of a food mill (or purée using a blender or an immersion blender).
- Return soup to the pot and whisk in 1/4 cup crème fraîche (or more, to taste). Heat through, taste and adjust seasonings (be generous with salt and pepper). To serve, garnish each bowl with a spoonful of crème fraîche and a sprinkle of parsley or tarragon.
