Cream of Turnip and Potato Soup

 

4 tbsps. butter

2 large turnips, peeled and chopped

1 large onion peeled and chopped

1 large potato, peeled and chopped

1 tbsp. cornflour

1 litre of warm vegetable stock

1 bay leaf

freshly grate nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste

3/4 cup single cream

1 medium carrot, finely grated

 

In a large casserole, melt butter over a medium heat. When froth disappears, add

chopped turnips, onion and potato. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7

minutes, until onion is tender and translucent but not golden. Using a slotted

spoon, remove vegetables from casserole; reserve. Away from heat, stir flour

into casserole juices, until smooth. Slowly pour in chicken broth, stirring.

Simmer for 3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Transfer reserved vegetables

back into casserole; add bay leaf and sprinkle with nutmeg, salt and pepper.

Lower heat; simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until vegetables are soft, stirring

occasionally. Remove casserole from heat, discard bay leaf and puree soup

mixture, a little at a time, into a blender. Pour puree back into casserole;

return over low heat. Stir in cream; simmer soup for 4 minutes, until hot. Do

not boil. Remove casserole from heat; pour soup into 4 individual bowls.

Sprinkle each bowl with a little finely grated carrot and serve.

Hello,

 

I am a newbie to vegetarian cooking and have been delighted to try some of the

recipes on here in an effort to get my family to become more vegetarian. I have

a question...What is corn flour? Is it the same as corn meal?

 

Thank you in advance,

Martha

it is corn starch. Some parts of the world have different names from names we

have for food items here in the US. It is always interesting to hear what they

call things isn't it.
