Turnip and Feta Soup
Turnip and Feta Soup
I red onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1 large turnip, chopped
1/2 red chilli, deseed and finely chopped
fresh coriander, chopped
1/2 tbsp olive oil
3 pints vegetable stock
feta cheese for garnish
salt and pepper
- Fry the onion, garlic and chilli in the olive oil until translucent.
- Add the turnip and carrot and cook for a few minutes.
- Add the stock and cook gently for a further 30 minutes.
- Blend the soup and add the coriander, salt and pepper.
- Serve topped with feta cheese.
This soup is earthy, but with a slightly sweet flavour which contrasts beautifully with the salty feta. I didn't have fresh chilli or coriander, so I used dried. I'm sure it would taste much better with fresh chilli and coriander and look prettier too, but it was very tasty!
It was just what I needed as a have a stinking cold just now!

ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon!
Thanks Deb, I think the cold is down to the damp weather! Can you send some of your sun this way please!
ReplyDeleteI just said too my wife last week that i think soup is one of my favourite things. This soup sounds very interesting. I'm not a big fan of feta cheese though. Do you think it would work with another cheese?
ReplyDeleteHi Anon,
ReplyDeleteWhy not try grating some parmesan over the soup or a really good strong cheddar. Although the soup is lovely and hearty on it's own, just served with some crusty bread!
