For the Love of Roots

TURNYPES

Creamed Turnip and Parsnip Soup

Ingredients

1 cup peeled, fresh turnips, diced

1/2 cup scraped, fresh parsnips, diced

2 1/2 cups beef broth

1/2 cup coarsely ground almonds

1 cup heavy cream

3 egg yolks

1/2 teaspoon salt

Juice of 1/4 lemon

Method

1. Gently boil turnips and parsnips in broth until vegetables are soft, about 12 minutes.

2. Stir in almonds and heat for 3 minutes.

3. Mix the yolks and salt with the cream; add the lemon juice; pour 1/2 cup hot soup into egg mixture, stirring well. Slowly pour this mixture into the soup. Stir well.

4. Heat 2 or 3 minutes, stirring, and serve warm.

My Modifications

1. I used sliced almonds and diced them up a bit.

2. The first time I made this for the big group, it sat on the stove on love for about 20-30 minutes. The second time I followed the directions. I think it seemed to taste better the first go-round.
