CARAMELIZED KOHLRABI SOUP
This is a great way to use the mountains of kohlrabi and turnips available in winter at the farmers' market (or crammed into your community-supported agriculture box). When caramelized in the oven and simmered into soup, these hardy roots turn sweet and mellow, making for a comforting and cozy soup.
