I don't like many vegetables. I try to find lots of creative ways to make them taste better, so I can have a balanced diet. Rutabaga's( yellow Turnips) are high in vitamins and lower in carbs than potatoes and so make a great substitute in many things. They also combine with onions and rice in this simple recipe to make a rich, creamy soup that is high in nutrients and low in fat. I found this recipe in Recipes 1-2-3 by Rozanne Gold. Ingredients:
2 lbs yellow turnips, peeled and trimmed and cut into large chunks |
1 lb onion, peeled and cut into large chunks |
6 tablespoons long-grain rice |
6 cups water |
2 teaspoons salt |
additional salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Put the turnips, onions,water and salt in a large pot and bring to a boil.
2. Add the rice, stir until well mixed and cover.
3. Lower the heat and simmer for 50 minutes, or until the vegetables are very soft.
4. In several batches, puree contents of pot in a food processor or blender until smooth.
5. Return the puree to the pot. Salt and pepper to taste.
6. This soup gets better as it sits and is better the next day.
