Apple Turnip Soup

For my October contribution to Gastronomic Meditations,

I created a soup using turnips and dried apples, accompanied by Nutmeg Cheddar Breadsticks. It’s the perfect early Autumn comfort food.

Mark! It looks fantastic—congratulations
The soup sounds wonderful - turnips and dried apples is a combo i’ve never had before…
Yes, the dried apples give the pureed soup a more interesting texture. If you were to use fresh apples, the finished soup would be mnore like applesauce, and perhaps a bit mushy. Try it and you’ll know what I mean!
