Turnip and Barley Soup image

I would suggest this recipe to those who already know they love turnips, as I do. It's very simple to make and lends itself to experimentation. I got the basic recipe from soupsong, but modified it to my taste.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 turnips, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
6 cups chicken broth, fat free (or vegetable broth)
1/2 cup pearl barley
salt (optional)
black pepper
1/4 cup romano cheese (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Heat the butter and oil in a large soup pot at medium high heat so the butter froths a bit. Add the turnips (which should be whatever size dice you prefer) and cook on medium heat until the pieces begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the broth and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the barley and cook, covered, about 15 minutes more.
  • Serve with salt, pepper and Romano cheese if desired.
