Indulge in a delicious turnip and bacon soup bursting with creamy and savory flavors!
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound bacon, cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 1 tablespoon bacon drippings
  • 2 cups diced onion (1/2-inch dice)
  • 2 cups diced potato (1/2-inch dice)
  • 2 cups diced turnip (1/2-inch dice)
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • water, to cover
  • 1 cup torn kale leaves
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • Fry the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until the fat starts to melt, approximately 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, and pour out most of the bacon drippings, saving around 1 tablespoon in the pan.
  • Place the pan with the bacon and reserved drippings over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion in the bacon and fat until translucent, approximately 4 minutes. Add the potato and turnip to the bacon mixture; cook and stir until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  • Place thyme in the saucepan along with enough water to cover the vegetable mixture. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer briskly until the potato and turnip are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In a small skillet, melt butter. Sauté kale until wilted, for 2 to 3 minutes. Lower heat to medium-low, cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Add kale and cream to the simmering soup and let it all simmer together for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove thyme sprigs before serving.
