Curried Turnip Soup Recipes

I like bacon in almost everything, too, but I don't think the one my friend has used bacon. I could certainly think up one with bacon in it since it goes with turnips so well. Sort of looking in a different direction on this one.

I love shallots, though. I think that's a good suggestion for this one. No tots this time, though, MD.

Last weekend I made a roadtrip out to Inglewood Farms in Alexandria. Inglewood Farm
Right now they have several varieties of turnips, radishes, beets, kale, lettuce and various insteresting greens.

The white turnips were my favorite. They're mild and very good. The greens are perfect, so I cook the greens down and throw in a boiled diced turnip. They're very healthy and full of Vitamin A.
I parboiled about a dozen, let em dry and froze to throw in chicken soup over the winter.

If you can't make it to Alexandria, Inglewood goes to the Lafayette Farmer's Market at the Horse Farm.

Curried soups generally have a coconut milk base or cream base. It's your preference.

I make an asparagus soup similar to what you linked. It's good. I like curry spices in those types of vegetable soups. Something about curry makes veggies taste better.

Definitely works well on many vegetables. I don't use it enough and have been increasing that use.

I saw that one and I noted it. Turnips make all the difference in a veggie soup for me. No turnips...then, it's not vegetable soup.

Yes, the whole chicken is cut up.. 8 pieces.. The skin stays on the drumsticks and wings I guess, to hold the meat together.

btw, if parsley root is available, it's a very unique tasting vegetable and gives a great flavor. It's a white carrot, basically with parsley like greens.. It tastes like a cross between celery and carrot.

I hadn't til I learned this soup recipe. Parsley Root Information

The cutting celery is easy to grow.. We have some in the backyard.. indirect light, moist, well drained soil.
What do you use it in? I chopped some up real fine in chicken salad but I haven't used it a whole lot.

That stuff never dies.. It's almost a shrub.



Bet it would be tasty in a turnip soup.
