Ingredients

  • three pints of veal
  • three pounds of young mild turnips
  • one lump of sugar
  • 3 lbs
  • 5 pints
  • salt
  • white pepper

Directions

1

Pare and slice into three pints of veal or mutton stock or of good broth, three pounds of young mild turnips; stew them gently from twenty-five to thirty minutes, or until they can be reduced quite to pulp; rub the whole through a sieve, and add to it another quart of stock, a seasoning of salt and white pepper, and one lump of sugar: give it two or three minutes’ boil, skim and serve it. A large white onion when the flavour is liked may be sliced and stewed with the turnips. A little cream improves much the colour of this soup.

2

Turnips, 3 lbs.; soup, 5 pints: 25 to 30 minutes.
