Creamy White Turnip Soup With Spring Onions And Roasted Garlic Recipe

By all means, give these creamy white turnip orbs (some varieties come with a pretty purple blush) a try. Pulled fresh from the ground, an increasing army of turnip hybrids available at farmers markets are light years away from the pungent, tough, waxy, long-stored turnips that formerly gave turnips an unglamorous reputation.This soup is delicately feminine, ever so elegant and one of my personal favorites. The salty bite of prosciutto nicely counters the sweetness of the onions and turnips. Save the turnip greens for a quick sauté in olive oil with a bit of garlic and serve it alongside.Adapted from "Southern Farmers Market Cookbook" by Holly Herrick.
