Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, small, coarsely chopped
1⁄4 cup tomatoes, very ripe, peeled, seeded, coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove, left whole
1 lb carrot, peeled, coarsely chopped
1 sweet potato, medium, white, peeled, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 cup turnip, yellow, peeled, roughly chopped (rutabaga)
4 cups water
1 tablespoon salt, coarse sea
1⁄8 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a 4-quart stock pot over medium-high heat. Add and sauté the onion until a light golden color, then stir in the tomato and garlic.
  • 2. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and continue cooking until the tomato is soft and partially dissolved, about 15 minutes.
  • 3. Add in the carrots, sweet potato, and turnip, pour in the water, cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • 4. Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 30 to 40 minutes.
  • 5. Remove the pot from the heat and puree the soup (a hand-blender works well).
  • 6. Stir in the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • 7. Bring the soup back to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 2 more minutes, then serve.
