Five Spice Turnip Soup

Turnips are totally underrated! They are cheap and packed with nutrients, but somehow not as in-fashion as Brussels sprouts or kale these days. I hope they make a come back because they are high in fiber, calcium and Vitamins A and C. This recipe is a bit indulgent using half-and-half but you can use low-fat or skim milk to cut the fat.
