This soup was delicious! My husband wasn't sure he would like it because it had a turnip in it. He loved it. the broth was very tasty and it didn't have to simmer that long either. since it was just two of us eating it itlasted a few days and the flavor just seemed to get better. I will be making this again. Thanks Scandigirl Skafte for a great recipe.
