Ingredients
  

  • 1 large turnip
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth (or vegetable broth for the vegetarian version)
  • 2 tbsp corn starch (optional, only if you prefer a creamier texture)

Instructions
 

  • Cut the turnip into small cubes. Cook them in a pot of boiling water for about 5-10 minutes until they become soft.
  • Drain away the water and stir in the beef broth, salt, pepper and butter and simmer for another 10 minutes. Tip: you can drain some of the excess liquid away.
  • If you like a creamier texture, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of corn starch (or potato starch) during the last 5 minutes of cooking. This will turn the soup into a creamy turnip stew.

Enjoy!
