The turnip has been revered for centuries. It has been the subject of a Russian folktale and was even immortalized as a symbol in several European coats of arms. In fact, the majestic turnip still appears on the coat of arms for Keutschach am See, Austria.
In recent years, root vegetables such as turnips have experienced a renaissance of sorts. Capitalizing on their popularity, our skilled chefs have created a soup so flavorful that guests have repeatedly requested its recipe.
Ingredients
Preparation
Get a taste of our delicious turnip soup during your next Danube River cruise – or make it at home to your heart’s delight!
1. Peel and slice turnips. Heat 1 tablespoon oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the turnips, rosemary, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon white pepper; stir to combine. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, for 10 minutes. 2. Add broth, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook until the turnips are tender, 10 to 12 minutes more. 3. Meanwhile, toss the turnip greens (or spinach) in a medium bowl with carrot, scallion greens, vinegar, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and pinch of salt and pepper. 4. Puree the soup in the pan using an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender and blend until smooth. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.) Serve each portion of soup topped with a generous ¼ cup of the salad.
