LEEK AND TURNIP SOUP WITH KALE AND WALNUT GARNISH
I recommend that you make a quick stock with the leek greens, onion and turnips trimmings while you chop the vegetables. Just throw them in a pot with a couple of quarts of water, bring to a simmer, cover partially and simmer 20 minutes. Strain through a fine strainer into a bowl. Kale, which comes from the same botanical family as turnips, makes a complementary garnish and the crunchy walnuts contrast beautifully with the smooth, sweet-tasting soup.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the leeks and continue to cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic smells fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Add turnips, potatoes or rice, water or stock, bay leaf, and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes to an hour. The turnips should be very tender. Remove the bay leaf.
- While the soup is simmering, blanch the kale in boiling salted water just until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or steam for about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, drain and squeeze out excess water. Place the squeezed bunch of kale on your cutting board and slice into thin slivers. Toss with the walnut oil.
- Using a hand blender, or in batches in a regular blender, purée the soup. If using a regular blender fill only half way and cover the top with a towel pulled down tight, rather than using the lid, because hot soup will jump and push the top off if the blender is closed airtight. Strain and return to the pot (turnips are fibrous and the soup will have a better texture if you strain it). Return to the pot and heat through, stirring. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and top with a spoonful of greens and sprinkling of walnuts.

TURNIP, LEEK AND POTATO SOUP
A simple French soup that works well regardless of which vegetable gets the emphasis. This is a simple French soup. If you want to vary the proportions of vegetables you can; it works well whether you emphasize the turnips, as I do here, the leeks or the potatoes. Turnips have a slightly bitter edge, and tarragon makes a lovely sweet garnish. Chives would also work.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat and add the onion, leeks and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the turnips, potatoes, water or stock, salt to taste, and the bouquet garni. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender and the soup is fragrant. Remove and discard the bouquet garni.
- Blend the soup in batches in a blender (cover the top with a towel and hold it down to avoid hot splashes), or through a food mill fitted with the fine blade. The soup should be very smooth. Strain if desired. Return to the pot. Stir and taste. Adjust salt, add freshly ground pepper, and heat through. Serve in small bowls or espresso cups, garnished with chopped fresh tarragon and/or chives.
