CARAMELIZED TURNIP AND APPLE SOUP WITH TARRAGON SOUR CREAM
This soup is very rich in flavour but at the same time light and not filling. The earthy taste of the turnips combines well with the tartness of the apples. The tarragon sour cream makes a strong flavour complement. chicken stock can be substituted for water. I put the sour cream in a squeeze bottle and make designs with it on top of the soup as the soup is thick enough for the sour cream to stay in place. The soup alone, however is creamy enough; for those who don't eat dairy, simply garnish the soup with minced tarragon and lemon zest.

CLASSIC TURNIP AND APPLE CASSEROLE
I first had this recipe at my husband's aunt's home back in 1979; got the recipe from her and have been making it to serve with turkey dinner ever since. I love the apples and turnip together! If you want to make it ahead of time, you can; just make it up to the layering stage then cover tightly and refrigerate. Put topping on, though, just before it goes into the oven.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F; butter a casserole dish (or spray with Pam) and set aside.
- Peel and dice turnip (this can be a tough job, as turnips are very dense) and place in a large pot.
- Cover with cold, lightly salted water and bring to a boil.
- Boil until turnip is tender (this takes longer than potatoes, usually), then drain and return to the pot.
- Mash turnip with the 1 tbsp butter and cream; stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar and the cinnamon; set aside.
- Peel apples, core, and slice.
- In prepared casserole dish, layer 1/3 of the turnip, then half the sliced apples, then 1/3 of the turnip, then the remaining apples, then the remaining turnip; smooth top.
- At this point, you could cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for several hours; don't put topping on until you're ready to pop this into the oven.
- When ready to bake, combine topping ingredients in a small bowl until they are crumbly; sprinkle over top of turnip.
- Bake in preheated oven for one hour; serve.

FRESH MUSHROOM SOUP WITH TARRAGON
This has such a great mushroom flavor. It seems a little time consuming but most of it is just the chopping. I bring the mushrooms into the living room and force others to help! I like to serve this soup as the beginning of a meal, followed by steak. If cremini aren't available, you can use a mixture of wild and white mushrooms.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the shallots and garlic and cook over medium low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the mushrooms and cook gently for 4 minutes, stirring.
- Add the stock and milk and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft.
- Stir in the chopped tarragon, salt and black pepper. Season to taste.
- Leave the soup to cool slightly, then puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. I usually only puree half of the soup, to retain some of the texture.
- Return to the saucepan and reheat slowly on medium low heat.
- Stir in sherry.
- Ladle the soup into warm soup bowls. Very lightly sprinkle with Parmesan if desired and serve garnished with springs of tarragon.

Tips:
- To achieve perfectly caramelized turnips, ensure they are evenly coated in butter and sugar before roasting. This will create a golden brown crust.
- Use a variety of apples for a complex flavor profile. Granny Smith and Honeycrisp are great choices due to their tartness and sweetness.
- If the soup seems too thick, add more vegetable broth or water until it reaches your desired consistency.
- For a vegan alternative to sour cream, use a mixture of cashew cream and lemon juice.
- Serve the soup immediately, garnished with fresh tarragon and a drizzle of olive oil, for the best flavor and presentation.
