Hot Soup on a Cold Day

It's bitter cold here and inside is the place to be.  A good day for things like cleaning out the vegetable drawer.  In which I found 5 medium-size turnips.  Googling "TURNIP SOUP" turned up a 5-star recipe that could not be easier.

Turnip-Potato Soup

3 tablespoons olive oil
1-1/2 pounds of turnips, peeled and cut into small pieces
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 small potatoes, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup white wine
4 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons salt (less if your broth is salted)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Italian parsley leaves as a garnish

In a large soup pot, sauté the onions, garlic, and turnips for 5-10 minutes.  Add the potatoes, white wine, and stock and cook on low for 30 minutes.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Emulsify with an immersion blender.  Top with chopped parsley leaves.

This will make a turnip-lover out of you if you aren't already one!
