Turnip and red apple soup

Ingredients:
1 large onion, peeled and sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 tablespoons butter
3 medium turnips, peeled, quartered and thinly sliced
3-4 cups milk
1 dash salt
1 dash pepper
4-6 large red apples, peeled
1/3 cup water or apple cider

Preparation:
Sautéing sliced onion and the minced garlic in butter. Make sure the onions don't brown!

Core and slice apples. Put sliced apples on the stove in a deep pot with a splash of water and cook them on medium high heat until soft enough to puree. You might need to add a little more water if the apples start to dry out.

When onions are soft, add turnips to the pot and just enough milk to cover them. Bring the milk to a simmer and gently cook the turnips until they're totally soft.

Mash everything up with a rubber spatula so the color from the red skin gets mixed in. Push it through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl.

When the turnips are soft, season them with salt and white pepper to taste and then mix everything up with a hand blender. Ladle the hot soup into a bowl and, starting in the center with the squirt bottle, make a spiral with the apple puree.
