A great way to use up radishes and salad turnips. Delicious with homemade bread on a cool day!
Ingredients
  • 2 Tbsp butter or Driftless Sunflower Oil
  • 1 Medium Onion (about ½ c.) chopped
  • 2 medium sized potatoes, chopped (no need to peel)
  • 4-5 salad turnips, coarsely chopped
  • 4 c. radish and turnip greens and stems (be sure to wash them), roughly chopped
  • 4 c. chicken or vegetable broth
  • ⅓ c heavy cream (or half and half)
  • 5 radishes, sliced
  • 2-3 green onions (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Herbs – optional (any kind you choose)
  • Dried Cayenne Pepper – optional (sprinkle per bowl or about ¼ tsp for the whole recipe)

Instructions
  1. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir in onion and saute until tender.
  3. Mix in potatoes, salad turnips and radish greens, coating them with butter.
  4. Pour in broth. Bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat, simmer for 15-20 min or until potatoes are tender.
  6. Transfer to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until it reaches desired consistency. Return the soup to the pan and add cream.
  7. Top with sliced radishes and green onions (if using).
  8. ***Measurements aren’t very important for this recipe and we like our soup a little on the chunky side.****
