Potato and Turnip Soup

Mmmm… Potato and Turnip Soup! Just serve with a salad on the side, and you have the perfect lunch. 

This Potato and Turnip Soup is great for lunch with a side salad!

I guess it’s time for another soup recipe. Maybe you think all I eat is soup during the winter. And maybe you are right! It’s my favorite lunch go-to. Soup and hot beverages make me think of my favorite vacations of all, winter ski trips. Skiing all day and coming in for a hot beverage to warm up by the fire! Ohhh, that’s the life. Growing up we’ve made it an effort to go snow skiing every couple of years. I’m so jealous of all of you who have the mountains nearby. I’d love to spend a whole winter in Colorado, preferably Copper Mountain or Aspen. Eeek, it gets me excited just thinking about it. Unfortunately this winter I won’t be going on the LSU ski trip, because I’m studying for the MCAT. Dedication, I guess. For those of you going skiing, shred some powder for me please.This Potato and Turnip soup is perfect for lunch with a side salad or some gluten free pizza!

This soup recipe comes from my chef of a father, Clint. He had some similar soup at the Farmer’s Market this Saturday and was inspired to create his own. He says the flavor comes from the stock, so make your own. He also says try to get some local ingredients, because that also makes a difference. He made this soup for us yesterday, and it was lunch today! With a side of some grilled chicken and a gluten-free pizza slice.  

I promise next recipe won’t be another soup! I’m thinking of making a grain free bread recipe. I’ve had quite a few requests for bread for sandwiches. I never get around to making this because it’s not exactly easy to recreate. Wish me luck on this recipe testing project!
