Looks delicious. I use habanero in a few things. Usually I cook whole, then remove. I've been using sriracha a lot lately though. Great flavor, but not ridiculously hot. Might add some nice color to the soup as well. Thanks for the recipe.

I LIKE SOUP!!!!


Is that right for this thread?

[badwhale]

Yes. I believe declaring that you like soup, in a thread titled "Soup Thread" is appropriate.

carry on.

[Mizicke5273]

Yay!

Glad you didn't say "No Soup for you"; that would have been a fatal blow!

Turnip Soup

2# of Turnips
3 Potatoes, peels & diced
Butter
Milk

Wash, peel and dice turnips. Put in pot and just cover with water. Boil about 1hour. Add 3 potatoes, peeled & diced. Add water just to cover; cook until potatoes are done. Put in a lump of butter, and add milk to consistency desired. Heat, but do not boil (I guess that's after you add the milk)

Seems simple enough. If this is anything like the leek soup we make, it should be tasty.

Did this one again the other night. Awesome recipe / soup.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 TSP Olive Oil
1 1/2 Cups of chopped leeks (white part only (you can cut into the green as much as you want, but whatever))
2 cloves of garlic
2 cans of chicken broth (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 1/4 pounds of peeled / cubed potato
1/4 TSP celery seed
1/8 TSP dried thyme
3/4 CUP Milk
1 TBSP Flour
1 can of whole kernel corn, drained
Salt / Pepper (to taste)

Instructions:
In a 4 qt saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring often, for 4 min. Add garlic, broth, potatoes, celery seed, salt and pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until veggies are tender (about 15min)

In a small bowl, whisk together milk and flour until blended. Stir in 1 cup of soup. Whisk the mixture into the saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cook stirring often until slightly thickened (about 2 min). Stir in corn.

Yield: about 4 1/2 servings

I'll get some pix next time I make it.

I did notice that using homemade chicken broth left it more bland. I would guess the canned broth has, you guessed it, more salt added.
