There are so many vegetables that are overlooked and underrated. Today I am going to put in the spotlight the "Turnip". As a child I did not like turnips. My mother often cooked them with Turnip Greens and other veggies. She even tried to persuade me that they taste just like potatoes. Since then I have tried turnips in various soups and with greens and I love them. So I hope this recipe will entice you to try turnips. Enjoy!

Step 3

Then add turnips, butter, onions, garlic, and reduce heat, let simmer for about 15 minutes or until fork tender.
Step 4

Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Prep blender for soup (be careful when placing hot items in your blender as the steam can blow the lid off.) You must vent your lid.
