What a great soup, just like I remember from my childhood when a neighbour used to make it.
Ingredients
- 4 Carrot
- 2 Onion
- 2 Turnip
- 2 Parsnip
- 4 Beef Stock Cubes
- 6 Chicken Soup Cubes
- 2 Boiling Chicken Cut in Pieces
- ½ Tsp Pepper
Method
- 1. Clean the chickens and split between 2 large saucepans.
- 2. Share the vegetables between the two saucepans, cover with water and boil for about 4 to 5 hours. Add the stocks cubes in the last hour.
- 3. Let the soup cool and takes out strain the liquid into a large bowl and put in the fridge or freezer - it freezes very well for months. 4. Before you use the soup, take off all the fat which has set on the top.
- Very good served with Matzo balls (dumplings) (see separate recipe) or Lochshen (noodles)

No, turnips are smaller and have a very different taste. They are both root veg though.

I thought that turnip and swede was one and the same vegetable.

How long would you cook this without a pressure cooker?
