I grew up with my mother cooking potatoe soup at least once every 2 weeks in the winter. When me and DH started LC that was one recipe we missed. So one day on this sight I read somewhere that turnips somewhat had the consistency of a potatoe. (never had a turnip before) So I tried it and everyone was amazed, including my VERY picky children.

Mock potatoe soup

1 lb bacon
1 onion
3 stalks celery
peeled turnips (not sure how much I just filled the pot full)
LC milk

cut up peeled turnips into cubes and boil them in a soup pot until firm, drain. Cut up bacon into tiny strips and cook until crisp, remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel. Remove 3/4 of the grease from the bacon and cook the onions and celery in the bacon grease (in the same pan used for the bacon) until soft. Return the turnips to their cooking pot and add onions, celery and just enough milk to cover it all. Using a potatoe masher, mash the turnips until atleast half are mashed well, salt and pepper and add bacon last (so it will stay crispy).
