1. Cook Beetroot Soup from Fresh Turnips
The soup, prepared from fresh turnips, is an absolute highlight. Incomparable in taste and effect! You buy the turnips at the market, pay attention to the turnip cabbage, the fresher the turnip comes from the ground, the more powerful is the turnip cabbage. Either you cook the turnips whole in boiling salt water or if you want to go fast, peel the turnips raw with gloves, cut them into small pieces and then use them to make soup.
2. Prepare Turnips Soup from pre-cooked Beetroot
I do not use beetroot from the glass for the soup. This is beetroot salad with vinegar. In many regions you can buy beetroot pre-cooked, that is vacuumed and cooked beetroot in a plastic bag. You can also use these for the soup, unfortunately they never taste as good as fresh beetroot.3. Beetroot Ingredients and Effect
