- 1/3 pound turnips
- 2/3 pound red skinned waxy potatoes
- 3 leeks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons white wine
- 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons salt

Method
- Peel turnips and potatoes (or at least partially peel potatoes). Cut both into a large dice.
- Split the leeks down the center and clean well, dry, then slice.
- Melt butter in a an enamel casserole or heavy bottom pot over medium. When the butter starts to turn golden, add olive oil and leeks. Season with a pinch of your salt and pepper. Saute leeks until softened.
- Add white wine, chicken broth, diced potatoes, and diced turnips. Season with the remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer for about one hour or until vegetables are softened.
