- 1 purple turnip
- 2 swedes
- 40g unsalted butter
- 1 turkey broth
- Nutmeg (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Fresh ground pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
-
Grate all the vegetables on the coarse side of the grater, or shred them coarsely in a food processor. 🥕🍠🧅
-
In a large heavy saucepan, melt the butter over a gentle heat. Add the grated vegetables and cook until they are softened and glistening. This step helps to develop the flavors and ensures that the vegetables are tender. 💧🥄
-
Pour in the turkey broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. The broth adds depth to the soup and enhances its savory taste. 🍗🍲
-
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the soup, covered, for one hour, or until the vegetables are tender and the soup is slightly thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. ⏳🔥
-
Once the soup is cooked, taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Add nutmeg, salt, and plenty of freshly ground pepper to enhance the flavors. 🌿🧂🌶️

Finally, stir in the cream and heat the soup through. The cream adds richness and creaminess to the soup, creating a velvety texture. Serve hot with freshly cut hearty brown bread and unsalted butter for a cozy and satisfying meal. 🥖🧈
