Turnip greens and sweet potato soup

The bitterness of turnip greens balanced by the sweetness of sweet potato.

Rico's note: Put this into rotation when turnip greens show up at the market — they're not a vegetable you see every day.

Ingredients

  • 300 g (10½ oz) turnip greens (nabiças) — washed and chopped
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (300 g / 10½ oz) — diced
  • 1 onion (150 g / 5½ oz)
  • 3 cloves garlic (15 g / ½ oz)
  • 1½ liters (6¼ cups) water
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (30 g / 1 oz)
  • sea salt, to taste

Method

  1. Put the sweet potatoes, onion and garlic in the pot with the water and salt, and simmer for 12 minutes.
  2. Blend partially with an immersion blender, to thicken the soup without losing all its texture.
