Instructions

• Cut the turnip into small cubes. Cook them in a pot of boiling water for about 5-10 minutes until they become soft.
• Drain away the water and stir in the beef broth, salt, pepper and butter and simmer for another 10 minutes. Tip: you can drain some of the excess liquid away.
• If you like a creamier texture, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of corn starch (or potato starch) during the last 5 minutes of cooking. This will turn the soup into a creamy turnip stew.
