Hi, I have never hard nor cooked turnips, what are they equivalent too? Substitutions ideas? Thanks,Annemarie
Martha McKinnon
Hi Annemarie,
If you have never had turnips and are feeling adventurous, I'd say give them a try. I would say they have the consistency of root vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots or parsnips. You could just leave them out or use any of these as substitutions. Hope this helps.
Ellie
Sorry, I know this might be a silly question but do you cook the cubes of beef before adding them or do you put them in raw?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Ellie,
No, that's not a silly question at all. You can put the cubes of beef in raw. That's what I did. If you prefer, you can brown the cubes of beef first. Some professional cooks would say that it provides better flavor. So, it's really your choice. I can be a lazy cooks at times and don't want to be bothered dirtying the stove/skillet. Hope this helps!

I'm making this recipe as I write this ... does anyone know the sodium content ???
Janet
Just a heads up, you have celery listed in the directions but not in the ingredient list. 😉
Martha McKinnon
Hi Janet, Thanks for the heads up! I've fixed the recipe to include celery in the ingredients list.

This soup is soul-satisfying and delicious! My two teenagers and husband liked it too even though it is a "diet" dish. They asked me to make it a second time the very next day.
