Rutabaga Leek Soup
This is my take on the classic potato leek soup but made with my favorite..rutabagas. Rutabagas are a mix between a turnip and a cabbage and are an excellent source of vitamin C, so this nourishing soup is perfect for the colder months to help boost the immune system. Rutabagas are also a good source of potassium, manganese, fiber, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin B6. Check out a few of my other recipes like Rutabaga Fries or Mashed Rutabaga and Cauliflower for more ideas on ways to cook with rutabagas!
