A great way to use up radishes and salad turnips. Delicious with homemade bread on a cool day!

- 5 radishes, sliced
- 2-3 green onions (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Herbs – optional (any kind you choose)

Instructions
- Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in onion and saute until tender.
- Mix in potatoes, salad turnips and radish greens, coating them with butter.
- Pour in broth. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, simmer for 15-20 min or until potatoes are tender.

- ***Measurements aren’t very important for this recipe and we like our soup a little on the chunky side.****
