CREAMY KOHLRABI SOUP



Creamy Kohlrabi Soup image

This is a simple but hearty dish. It's similar to cream of broccoli soup only much better! My husband loves this soup so much he planted kohlrabi in our garden; it looks like a small green turnip. The taste and texture of kohlrabi are similar to those of a broccoli stem or cabbage heart, but milder and sweeter. Serve with your favorite bread.

CARAMELIZED KOHLRABI SOUP



Caramelized Kohlrabi Soup image

This is a great way to use the mountains of kohlrabi and turnips available in winter at the farmers' market (or crammed into your community-supported agriculture box). When caramelized in the oven and simmered into soup, these hardy roots turn sweet and mellow, making for a comforting and cozy soup.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds kohlrabi, turnips or a combination, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 large white onion, peeled and diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups vegetable or chicken stock (or use water)
1 bay leaf
1 small lemon, preferably a Meyer lemon
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, as needed
Smoky chile powder, as needed

Steps:

  • Arrange an oven rack 4 to 6 inches from the broiler. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss together kohlrabi, 2 tablespoons oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Transfer to oven and broil until very well browned, about 10 minutes total, tossing halfway through cooking. (Watch carefully to see that they do not burn.)
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and let cook for 1 minute.
  • Add roasted kohlrabi, stock, 3 cups water, the bay leaf and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat to medium, cover partly, and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Discard bay leaf. Using an immersion blender or working in batches in a food processor, purée soup until very smooth.
  • Zest the lemon into the pot, then halve it and squeeze in its juice. Taste soup and add more salt if needed. Ladle soup into bowls and top with a drizzle of oil, grated cheese and a pinch of chile powder.

Tips:

  • Choose tender kohlrabi: Look for kohlrabis that are small to medium in size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any that are too large or have signs of wilting or bruising.
  • Peel and dice the kohlrabi: Use a sharp knife to peel the kohlrabi, then cut it into small, bite-sized pieces.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When sautéing the kohlrabi, make sure not to overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the kohlrabi from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth you use will greatly impact the flavor of the soup. Choose a broth that is flavorful and has a rich, savory taste.
  • Simmer the soup until the kohlrabi is tender: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the kohlrabi is tender.
  • Season to taste: Once the soup is finished cooking, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Cream of kohlrabi soup is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Cream of kohlrabi soup is a delicious and nutritious soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, mild flavor, and abundance of vitamins and minerals, cream of kohlrabi soup is a great way to enjoy this versatile vegetable.
