Root Veggie Soup repost uses turnips

[Guest guest]

This recipe has been passed around and it's my old

fave.

You can really clean up the veggies in the fridge with

this one

and each veggie adds it's own wonderful flavor.

It freezes well too, in containers or zip-lock freezer

bags.

I grab one on the way out the door to work quite

often.
