Turnip Soup

I know, I know, it has been a long time since I've posted. It's been a little crazy around here and it just kept slipping my mind until I talked to my sister this weekend and she told me I'd better update my blog since she's sick of looking at beet soup. So here we go.

My parents got into town last week and it was a pretty crazy day - work until 5, then a community council obligation, then off to the airport to pick up Mom & Dad. By the time we got home it was a little after 8 and none of us had eaten. I knew it would be nuts, so in the morning before work I had pulled out my 2 quart size crockpot and made some turnip soup.

4 - 5 cups of chicken or veggie broth (I used a combination since I make my own from leftovers and had only about 2 cups of chicken broth left)
1 bunch of turnips with greens (about 6 medium sized turnips
2 carrots
2 stalks celery
2 cloves garlic
1 bay leaf
3 sprigs rosemary

Seperate turnips and tops trimming any dried tops off. Quarter the turnips and roughly chop the greens (I only throw out the area where the greens attach to the turnip since it normally has too much dirt to get clean). Dice the carrots and celery, roughly chop the garlic. Combine all ingredients in the crockpot and cook on low 8 - 10 hours or on medium for 6 - 8 until the turnips are tender. Serve with grainy rolls or crackers.
