Travelog post for: Fidibus

Our host bought this by mistake last week when she shopped for some beets.  We did not know what it is, but we helped her figure out that it is a rutabaga.  We decide to make a soup out of it.



First we cut it up into pieces.



We also cut some potatoes and carrots.



We brown some onion in the pot.



When it's ready we put the root vegetables in as well.  We throw in some herbs, bay leaves and pepper and some water.



Now it's time to put everything in the blender.



We put the puree back into the pot, add a bit of wine, salt and pepper to taste.



Let's a final touch, of scallion and shredded asiago.  Doesn't it look good?  It's very delicious!
