Another hearty one-pot dish that is full of nutritious root vegetables including beets, turnips, parsnips and rutabagas. I didn’t realize how much I like rutabagas until I had this soup. If you have any precooked grains like rice, farro, or pasta – feel free to throw them into the soup at the end or else serve with toast. You can also use an immersion blender to puree all or some of the soup if that’s your thing! This will make a generous portion enough for 4 people.
