CREAM OF TURNIP SOUP
Because I have alot of turnips in the garden( and dont particularly like them ) I turned them into soup, and delicious it is too!! It would be very easy to sub other veggies...i.e parsnips, cauliflower etc in place of the turnips..But try it with the turnips first, you will be amazed at how great this is; could easily be served at a dinner party, garnish with drizzled heavy cream and chopped cilantro.

Steps:
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
- Add turnips, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until vegetables start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
- Add paprika, thyme and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
- Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until turnips are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
- Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

Tips:
- Choose turnips that are small and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid turnips that are large or have blemishes, as these may be woody or bitter.
- Peel the turnips before cooking. This will help to remove the waxy coating on the turnips and make them more tender.
- If you are using a slow cooker, add the turnips to the pot towards the end of the cooking time. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.
- Serve cream of turnip soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, a sprinkling of chopped fresh herbs, or a side of crusty bread.
Conclusion:
Cream of turnip soup is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover turnips, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With its creamy texture and slightly sweet flavor, cream of turnip soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
