Turnip Soup
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I'd like to point out right away that you can cook this soup either in water—as the peas will provide a wonderful aroma and flavor—or in meat broth, for example. As for other vegetables, you can also add them if desired: onion, garlic, sweet pepper, potatoes, etc. This is a great dish for the whole family, definitely worth trying.
