American · Soup · 35 min total

A hearty and nutritious soup made from fresh turnip greens, perfect for using up the tops from your garden or farmers' market haul. This simple recipe highlights the earthy, slightly peppery flavor of turnip greens.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chopped turnip greens (about 1 bunch)
• 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add turnip greens, broth, potato, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potato is tender.
4. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.
5. Stir in heavy cream or coconut milk if desired for a creamier texture. Adjust seasoning to taste.
6. Serve hot.

Tips

• For a vegan version, use vegetable broth and omit the cream or use coconut milk.
• This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
