Vegetable Soup

Yes, this is basically a vegetable soup. But the vegetables are a little different.

The turnips add a very nice touch and give the soup a little different taste.

For the cabbage I used a red cabbage. I like red cabbage, it has a slightly sweeter taste than green cabbage.

Of course, the red cabbage colored the soup quite a bit. My soup was a little on the purple side at the end.

The leeks gave the soup the onion flavor with a little more crunch.

I do think it needed just a touch more salt.

The soup was enjoyable. I liked the combination of vegetables.

I think I would have added a few more spices or herbs. . .
