A recipe from Ivy Creek Family Farm

CSA members at Ivy Creek share their recipes through the farm’s website. Here’s a potato turnip soup members could make from the veggies in their CSA boxes.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
2-3 green onions, chopped
2 green garlic cloves, chopped
2-3 shiitake mushrooms, chopped
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2-3 medium potatoes, chopped (peeled or unpeeled)
3-4 turnips, chopped
1/2 bunch turnip greens, chopped
5-6 cups vegetable stock
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Wash all of your vegetables.
Heat the oil (or melt the butter) in a medium pot over medium-low heat.
Add the onion and garlic and saute for two to three minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the mushrooms and cumin (optional) and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stir to prevent burning.
Add the turnips and saute until golden brown. (You may need to add a bit more butter or oil to prevent the turnips from sticking to the pan).
Add the potatoes and stock and simmer until the potatoes and turnips are soft.
Blend with an immersion blender (or use a regular blender).
Return to low heat. Add the chopped turnip greens and cook until soft. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
