Type: Soup
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 tablespoons 30mlOlive oil
1   Onion - chopped
1   Turnip - chopped
1   Parsnip - chopped
3   Garlic cloves - chopped
2 lbs 908g / 32ozPumpkin - (to 3 lbs) - peeled, chopped

1   Tomatoes - (15 oz) - juice reserved
4 cups 948mlVegetable or beef stock

  Minced parsley or celery leaves - for garnish

Recipe Instructions

In a large saucepan, slowly saute the onion, garlic, turnip, parsnip, and pumpkin pieces in the olive oil over medium-low heat -- for about 10 minutes, so the vegetables are golden roasted and concentrated.

Cut in the tomatoes, turn the heat to medium-high, and cook down for about 10 more minutes, stirring from time to time. Add the reserved tomato juice and stock, bring to a boil, then turn to a simmer. Stir in sage and simmer for 15 minutes.

When ready to serve, ladle into bowls and sprinkle each with minced parsley or celery leaves.
