Number Of Ingredients 10

2 leeks, cut into chunks
1 1 medium to large onion
1 large white turnip root
2 clove garlic
1 pkg carrots, chopped
2 large red potatoes, cut into chunks (peel left on or off)
2 large containers of chicken broth (or equivalent homemade broth)
2 or 3 leaves of kale (optional)
margerine, butter, oil or mixture of them for sauteeing
salt, pepper and thyme to taste (all optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Saute leeks and onion lightly. (Peel or not the carrots, turnips, potatoes, garlic and kale which is optional. I leave the peelings on as it is more nutritious and add more flavor. Add them to the pot along with the broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered about 45 min or until veggies are soft. Let cool enough to put into blender or food processor.
  • 2. Put into blender or food processor by batches. Season to taste with the thyme, salt and pepper.
