The soup looks excellent…very elegantly presented, and I can see why you would want to do this again for a special occasion as you make it look very special!

Still, you triumphed mightily! Your soup is lovely, and I know it was downright tasty! Velvet…nice comparison! I found I didn’t mind the turnip at all in this application. I’m not caving in that I “like” cooked turnips yet, but I’m open to trying them again. As I get older, I occasionally find that either a) my palate has matured or b) the item I didn’t care for wasn’t one of my mother’s strong points in cooking. Sorry Mom. It’s very possible that turnips fall into the latter category, but liver, for the most part with extremely rare exceptions, still won’t work for me. *Ü* I think I’m going to give it another try with a small dice rather than julienne…then maybe it would be Diced Darblay…loses something in transition, doesn’t it? Enjoy!
