beef and turnip soup

A friend made this for me and I recreated.  It's simple and hearty and seems like good diet food.

Ingredients:

  • some lean beef, maybe 1/4 to 3/4lb ground, cubed, whatever you have
  • a dozen turnips (the root part, can keep unpeeled if you want)
  • can of beef stock, 1 to 2 cups of water
  • oil, salt, pepper, garlic

In a soup or sauce pot, fry beef and turnips in oil.  Add water and then boil.  Add garlic, salt, and pepper and beef stock.  Simmer until turnips are ready.

I suspect you can add other vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, mushrooms, and celery.  And you can probably swap out the beef with chicken or turkey and chicken stock.

That and roasted sweet potatoes is what I'm digging lately.
