WINTER VEGETABLE SOUP WITH TURNIPS, CARROTS, POTATOES AND LEEKS
I use the food mill instead of a blender - immersion or regular - because I love the texture of the soup when it's put through the mill's coarse blade, resulting in a flavorful, colorful mixture that you can almost chew on. But you can use a blender to purée the soup. The texture will be coarsest - which is what you want - if you use an immersion blender.

WINTER VEGETABLE SOUP WITH COCONUT MILK & PEAR
Adapted from the Fine Cooking Website. This soup uses canned coconut milk instead of cream. I have used Lite Coconut milk to cut back on the calories. You can also use other vegetables as long as you end up with the approximate measurements here. I have used sweet potatoes and acorn squash and left out the turnip, parsnip and celery root. This is very versatile and very good.

- Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can easily add or subtract vegetables to suit your taste.
