For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of regular butter. Shallot crisps can be made by thinly slicing shallots and frying them in oil until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels before using as a garnish. If you prefer a vegan option, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and the half-and-half with cashew cream or another plant-based alternative.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat olive oil in a large, deep saute pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. (1 minute)
02
StepAdd turnips and onion; saute, stirring infrequently at first, then more frequently, until vegetables begin to turn golden brown. (7-8 minutes)
03
StepReduce heat to low, add butter, sugar, and garlic. Continue cooking until all vegetables achieve a rich, spotty caramel color. (10 minutes)
04
StepIncorporate paprika, thyme, and cayenne pepper; saute until fragrant. (30 seconds - 1 minute)
05
StepPour in chicken broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until turnips are tender. (10 minutes)
06
StepUsing an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth. (30 seconds - 1 minute) (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
07
StepReturn to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is soup-like, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish with shallot crisps, and serve.
