Vegan Potato, Fennel and Turnip Soup

20min

Happy Saturday, Soupers! In our home, we’re recovering from the flu and when we needed a soothing soup to aid in recovery, this vegan potato, fennel and turnip soup hit the spot for a family of flexitarians.

At first, my son was not convinced that this soup would taste as good as the version we make with a chicken stock. However, the look on his face after taking the first couple of slurps was priceless. This soup is indeed a family favorite. And, the secret? It’s definitely the tangy flavor that the turnip brings to the soup. With lots of butter and a little rice milk, you absolutely can attain the perfect thickness, once you add the soup in the blender. Go ahead and give it a try! Let us know what you think!
