    It’s not exactly a typical combination, but try it out, and you might be surprised! The potatoes (use white or sweet) give you a solid, comforting base, the turnips add a little sharpness, and the pears take the whole mix in a slightly sweeter direction without getting into the realm of dessert soup.

    And of course, there’s plenty of coconut milk and homemade stock to give everything a solid base of flavor.

    Turnip Potato and Pear Soup

    If anyone in the house has an early-spring cold, this would be a nice comfort food that’s gentle on the stomach – all the vegetables are cooked pretty thoroughly, which makes them easier to digest.

    Turnips and potatoes are actually both good sources of important nutrients, and homemade bone broth is also a really great food for a cold.

    Alternatively, try this one with any protein you like to make a complete meal. The curry powder would go really well with crispy Indian-inspired chicken bites or fry up some sausages for an easy and nutritious dinner.
