Sweet Potato and Turnip Soup
1 leek
1 medium red onion
1 large turnip (more would be good)
2 white potatoes
1 sweet potato
1 tbl spoon fresh chopped rosemary
4 pints vegetable stock and/or water
salt and pepper to taste
Cut off dark green tops from leeks, rinse very thoroughly, and dice. Chop onion, and saute leeks and onion in the bottom of a large soup pot in a little water until soft. Peel and dice turnips and potatoes, and add to soup pot. Add a little stock and stew for 5 minutes, stirring gently.
Add the rest of the stock and the rosemary, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fully cooked. Puree about half of the soup in a food processor or blender, and return to the pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper, reheat, and serve
