CREAMY KOHLRABI SOUP

Creamy Kohlrabi Soup image

This is a simple but hearty dish. It's similar to cream of broccoli soup only much better! My husband loves this soup so much he planted kohlrabi in our garden; it looks like a small green turnip. The taste and texture of kohlrabi are similar to those of a broccoli stem or cabbage heart, but milder and sweeter. Serve with your favorite bread.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 pound kohlrabi, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 ½ cups vegetable broth
2 ½ cups milk
1 bay leaf
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup uncooked orzo pasta

Steps:

Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Cook and stir onion in melted butter until soft, about 10 minutes. Add kohlrabi; cook and stir another 2 minutes. Pour vegetable broth and milk over the onion mixture. Add bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, place a cover on the pot, and reduce heat to low; cook at a simmer until kohlrabi is tender, about 25 minutes.
Remove and discard bay leaf; allow the soup to cool slightly. Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway. Pulse the blender a few times before leaving on to puree. Work in batches until all soup is blended. Return pureed soup to stockpot; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle orzo pasta into the soup; cover the stockpot and simmer until the orzo is tender, about 10 minutes.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 stalk chopped celery
2 large kohlrabi bulbs, peeled and cubed
1 bay leaf
2 ½ cups water
2 ½ cups milk
2 tablespoons MSG-free chicken bouillon granules
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until just soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and celery and cook another 2 minutes. Stir in kohlrabi and bay leaf and cook for 4 minutes. Slowly add water and milk and stir to combine. Mix in chicken bouillon granules.
Bring soup to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent milk from frothing too much. Reduce heat and partially cover pot. Simmer until kohlrabi is very soft, about 30 minutes. Remove soup from heat; remove and discard bay leaf.
Fill blender halfway with soup. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Pour into a pot. Repeat with remaining soup. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Return soup to stove and heat until hot.
