APPLE RUTABAGA SOUP (SWEDE TO YOU BRITS!)
I love rutabaga. When I was a child it was one of my favorite parts of Christmas dinner, that golden pile of mashed rutabaga...This soup looks and tastes like liquid autumn. It's incredibly simple to put together and can be made well in advance and frozen. the elusive ingredient is a bit of maple syrup which enhances the natural sweetness of the rutabaga. Water or vegetable stock may be successfully substituted for the chicken stock if you want to make this soup vegetarian.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, over medium high heat, melt the butter.
- Add all the vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent.
- Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
- Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until all the vegetables are cooked through and tender.
- Puree the vegetables in a blender or food processor, or if you are lucky like me and have one use a handheld food liquidizer.
- Strain through a fine mesh sieve into the same pot you used to cook it inches Add the cream, maple syrup, salt and cayenne pepper.
- Return the pot to the stove, bring soup to a simmer, then serve in hot bowls!
- I like to cut buttered bread into small shapes and toast them in the oven til crispy and golden to float on top for an added garnish!

RUTABAGA SOUP
Rutabagas, yellow turnips, Swedes, whatever you call them, don't turn up your nose until you've tried them. They're sweet and earthy and wonderful, as is this soup. It's thickened with rice and is so much better on day two that I've written the recipe to include that direction. This soup almost demands a great loaf of bread to go with it and I encourage you to not omit the tarragon garnish. I think it makes the soup. Adapted from Rozanne Gold, a favorite cookbook author. Cook time includes overnight refrigeration.

CREAM OF RUTABAGA SOUP
A patient at a physiotherapy clinic I worked at used to bring in soup for us for lunch. He brought this soup in once and it was an instant hit for everyone who tried it, even those who say they hate turnip/rutabaga. We begged for the recipe and this is what we got.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn for a balanced flavor. Sweeter apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji can also be used, but you may need to adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Rutabagas and apples should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking will make them mushy and bland.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so make sure to use a good quality broth that you enjoy the taste of. Vegetable broth, chicken broth, or beef broth can all be used.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of cream or sour cream for a richer flavor.
- Serve with a side of crusty bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the delicious soup.
