It features root vegetables--carrot, parsnip, turnip, celeriac, potato--so it's perfect for this time of year. The celeriac really makes it stand out, and a squeeze of fresh lemon at the table elevates the whole thing. For a simple recipe, it is different enough to be rather special.
I have that that cook book too ! This is is not from the book.
Its a kind of minestrone with what's in the veggie draw, plus red kidney beans, risoni pasta, and a dollop of pesto.
Served with buttered sourdough toast.
