Butternut and Turnip Soup image

Okay, before you turn up your nose, just hear me out :) Butternut soup always tastes a little too sweet for me, so today I tried adding a turnip. It was the perfect complement, now the taste is just right. For me at least!

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 -2 carrot, sliced fine
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
1 butternut squash, peeled and diced
1 turnip, diced
1 1/2 sodium-free chicken bouillon
4 cups water
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups unsweetened almond milk (unflavored) or 2 cups milk
1 -2 teaspoon coriander
1 -2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil and butter over medium heat, add onion and carrots and saute until soft.
  • Add garlic and saute a few more minutes.
  • Add a bit salt at each stage, then a little more if needed at the end. I use a total of 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt for the entire recipe.
  • Add squash, turnip and bouillon, then just enough water to barely cover the veggies.
  • Cover and bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 35 minutes or until squash is tender.
  • Select a pan to make the roux (white sauce). I use a large, wide pan, large enough to hold the roux plus the vegetable soup.
  • Make the roux by sauteeing flour in butter til golden, then slowly stir in the milk or almond milk. Heat until thickened, stirring frequently, then turn off heat.
  • Puree the vegetable soup in blender until smooth, then stir it into the thickened roux.
  • Add the spices, salt and pepper to taste.

This soup was a bit too thick for my liking. I added some more broth and it was perfect.

This soup was way too salty for me. I had to add a lot of water to tone it down.

I didn't have any turnips, so I used parsnips instead. The soup was still delicious!

The soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.
