Directions Turnip and Potato Soup
Directions
-
Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until the fat begins to render, about 4 minutes, remove from heat, and drain most of the rendered bacon drippings, reserving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.
Return the pan with the bacon and reserved drippings to medium heat, cook and stir the onion in the bacon and fat until translucent, about 4 minutes more. Stir the potato and turnip into the bacon mixture, cook and stir until the potato and turnip pieces are warmed, about 2 minutes.
Add the thyme to the saucepan with enough water to cover the vegetable mixture, bring the water to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a brisk simmer until the potato and turnip are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Heat butter in a small skillet. Cook and stir the kale leaves until they wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Stir the kale and the cream into the simmering soup, allow to simmer together another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove thyme sprigs before serving.
