Kohlrabi and Mushroom Soup

Kohlrabi is among my favourite veggies. Other names for kohlrabi are German turnip or turnip cabbage and stems probably from Northern Europe, from crossing turnip and cabbage. In Hungary we eat it in the spring time, when it’s young and fresh. When choosing kohlrabi make sure the skin is intact, as it gets older it becomes quite ‘woody’, so it’s not so nice. You can eat its green leaves too, it’s more nutrient dense.

a pretty, fresh kohlrabi 🙂

The plant contains mainly potassium, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin E, B1, B6, folic acid and vitamin C (63mg/100g).

Kohlrabi can be eaten basically in any form; raw, roasted, baked or great in soups.

I’ve found fresh, local, organic kohlrabi in Dubai, now in February. The following recipe is a very simple method of making a delicious, nutritious soup. And the fresh kohlrabi just melts in the mouth like butter.
