Turnip Honey Roasted Garlic Soup Recipes

ROASTED GARLIC SOUP

Steps:

• Cut off top 1/4 inch of each garlic head. Place in a small, shallow baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until golden, about 1 hour. Cool slightly. Press individual garlic cloves between thumb and finger to release. Chop garlic.
• Melt butter or margarine in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, leeks, and onion; saute until onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add flour and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in hot broth and sherry. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.
• Puree soup in batches in a blender or food processor.
• Return soup to saucepan, and add cream. Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Add lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and white pepper. Ladle into bowls. Garnish with chives.

HONEY-GLAZED TURNIPS

Steps:

• In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, combine turnips, honey, butter, and water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring liquid to a boil over medium-high, then reduce to a rapid simmer. Cover and cook until turnips are just tender, 10 minutes. Uncover, bring liquid back to a boil, and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost reduced, 10 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring often, until turnips are barely golden and glazed, 3 minutes more. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh lemon juice.

CREAMY TURNIP WITH PAPRIKA SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
• Add turnips, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until vegetables start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
• Add paprika, thyme and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
• Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until turnips are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
• Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

ROASTED TURNIP SOUP WITH HONEY CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Bring large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Blanch the turnips for 3 minute.
• Drain and rinse with cold water. Lightly towel dry the turnips.
• Toss turnips, onions, leeks, garlic and thyme in oil in a large bowl. Spread on a baking sheet or dish in a single layer. Roast in preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, stirring and turning every 15 minute or so until browned evenly.
• Place roasted vegetables in a soup pot. Add 3/4 cup of water to pan vegetables were roasted in, scrape bits and juices and add to soup pot.
• Add the stock, milk, cream and salt to pot. Bring almost to boil and partially cover. Reduce heat to simmer an cook for about 30 min or until turnips are quite tender. In a blender, puree the soup in batches.
• Strain through food mill or strainer to create creamy fine consistency.
• Serve with Honey Cream.
• Honey Cream: Mix ingredients from above together well.

TURNIP, HONEY & ROASTED GARLIC SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in pot, add onions and cook gently for 10 min without coloring.
• Add carrots, potatoes, turnips, celery and stock to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer gently for 1 hour.
• Remove from stove and blend until smooth, return to the pot.
• Squeeze the roasted garlic from the skins, mash into a pulp and add to the soup with the honey.
• Season to taste and serve.

TURNIP, POTATO AND GARLIC SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, minced garlic, rosemary and thyme sprigs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
• Add the turnips and remaining garlic cloves, bring back to a simmer and cook until the turnips and garlic are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, and cool at least 5 minutes. Remove and discard the rosemary and thyme and carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full).
• Stir in the cream and reheat the soup if necessary. Adjust the consistency and seasoning with water, salt and pepper.
• Serve hot garnished with crispy fried shallots and parsley.

ROASTED GARLIC-THYME SOUP

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan heat the olive oil over very low heat. Add the celery, onion, carrots, leek and thyme. Cook for about 30 minutes, until very soft and brown. Stir occasionally and keep the heat low to prevent the vegetables from burning. Add the bay leaves, peppercorns, and stock, increase the heat and bring the liquid to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat to very low and simmer, covered for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the stock into a clean pan, pressing down on the solids to extract all their flavor. Discard the solids. Add the large bunch of thyme to the broth and simmer actively for 15 minutes. Strain again and add the roasted garlic cloves, cream, salt and pepper. Taste for seasoning and serve in heated cream soup bowls. Sprinkle the toasted croutes with a little Parmesan. Top each bowl with a toasted croute and a sprig of thyme.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. With a sharp knife, slice off the very top of the garlic, just to expose most of the cloves (this will make them easier to squeeze out after cooking). Make a doubled layer of aluminum foil about 6 by 6 inches square. Place the garlic in the center and bring up the sides a little to form a cup. Drizzle over the olive oil and add the oregano, salt and pepper. Bring the sides all the way up and twist together to make a firm seal. Place in the oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes. Open the top so the garlic will stop cooking and set aside until cool enough to handle. Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins and discard the skins.
