Simple Turnip Potato Soup

  • 2 lbs turnips, peeled and diced
  • 2 large potatoes, diced (I leave skins on cuz I’m a rebel who loves vit-packed potato skins. If you want a smooth white soup though, best cut them off)
  • 1/2 a large onion, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stick, diced
  • vegetable stock, 4 cups
  • thyme, 2 tsp
  • 2 bay leaves
  • a knob of butter
  • milk, 1/2 a cup
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • s+ black pepper to taste

Sautee your onion, celery and carrot in a bit of oil. Add the bay leaves. After about 5 mins, add your diced turnips and potatoes, the thyme, white pepper, a bit of salt and stir around for a few minutes. Add in 4 cups of stock and cover for an hour, check in occasionally to stir. After, remove bay leaves, pop in a blender (may have to do this in 2 batches), add knob of butter and milk and puree. Add salt as needed. I like this topped with something spicy, a simple spicy oil and some sauteed almond slices would be killer.
