Cooking Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients for the soup, ensuring they are fresh and of high quality. Clean and chop the turnip, leeks, and onion.
-
Saute Vegetables: In a large soup pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped turnips, leeks, and onion to the pot. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Cover the pot and cook the vegetables until they are soft and tender, stirring occasionally to prevent browning. This should take approximately 20 minutes.
-
Simmer with Wine: Once the vegetables are cooked, pour in the riesling wine, and allow the mixture to simmer over medium heat. Let it reduce by about half, which typically takes around 10 minutes. This step infuses the soup with the delightful flavors of the wine.
-
Blend to Puree: Transfer the cooked vegetables and wine mixture to a blender. Process the mixture until it reaches a coarsely-textured puree consistency. Be careful when blending hot liquids, and work in batches if necessary.
-
Incorporate Broth: Return the pureed soup to the soup pot. Add both beef and chicken broth to the pot, stirring well to combine all the ingredients. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 3 to 4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to incorporate it into the soup. Continue to simmer for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the soup slightly thickens.
-
Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot German Riesling Soup into warmed bowls. Garnish each serving with a generous sprinkle of fresh flat-leaf parsley for a burst of vibrant color and an extra layer of flavor.
-
Enjoy: Serve the soup immediately, savoring each spoonful of its luxurious texture and harmonious blend of flavors. Pair it with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Share this delightful recipe with loved ones, and revel in the joy of good food and great company!
