Creamed Turnip Soup

Admittedly, I have never had turnips before. This recipe is a great way to introduce the vitamin C packed turnip into the diet. Comfort food at its finest.

2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium
onion, diced
2 turnips, diced
2 medium
potatoes, diced
vegetable or chicken stock to cover
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups of
milk

Heat oil and sautee onions in a medium-sized pot until translucent. Add turnips and potatoes. Cover with stock and add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then simmer for 30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Remove from pot and puree in a food processor (I do this in small batches). Return to pot and slowly add milk. Reheat on low-medium temperature, but do not bring to a boil.
