"I had a similar soup at a restaurant and re-created it at home. To my surprise, it came out even better than the original! This soup actually won top honors in our town's annual cook-off." Donna Class, Keyser, West Virginia

I didn't use turnip and I substituted Venison Sausage and it was fantastic. Made a double batch to share with neighbors and family.

I felt that this soup could have used a few more spices. I felt it was a bit bland.

Reviewed on Dec. 16, 2010 by jewellmrs

Love this! I make this without the cream, pour it into small freezer bags & freeze it. Then I can pull out just a small portion when I need my own personal bowl of soup. I add the cream after it defrosts. This soup is thick & creamy & the sausage is just fun. A luxury. A comfort food.
