Here is a nice one from Anne Roos to warm the chilly days at home in Nashville, I add some chives as I still have some from the garden that have survived the winter freeze.

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/2 small white turnips
  • 1 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
  • chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the green tops off the leeks, wash well, and slice.
  2. Braise the leeks in butter until soft and set aside.
  3. Peel and quarter the white turnips.
  4. Simmer leeks and turnips in chicken stock until soft, for about 20 minutes.
  5. Puree everything together in a blender.
