Dear reader - you will find a variety of recipe ideas within this blog, and not all may be suitable for you. If you may have any food allergies, or underlying health issues these must always be taken into account. If you are a diabetic and not sure how certain foods may affect your blood sugars, test is best, i.e. use your meter.
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
2. Place the cubes of swede in a roasting tray. Drizzle over two tablespoons of the olive oil and season.
3. Roast in oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and tender, stirring occasionally.
4. Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large heavy-based saucepan, stir in the onion, carrots, celery, garlic and thyme leaves and fry for 4-5 minutes until softened but not browned.
5. Add the roasted swede to the pan and pour over the stock.
6. Bring gently to the boil, cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Purée the soup in a food processor or liquidiser until completely smooth. Pass through a sieve for an extra fine texture if preferred. 8. Transfer the soup back to a clean saucepan. Stir in most of the cream, reserving some for garnishing. Gently heat through and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
9. Serve in warm bowls or a soup tureen and garnish with a swirl of cream, some fresh thyme leaves and freshly ground black pepper.

Perfect for this time of year!
Hello Jan!
A perfect soup for the cold days of Winter!
I don’t know what Swede is,i have to google it in Greek!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful recipe!
Have a lovely weekend!
Dimi...
In so love swede! I have never tried it this way though...but that is about to be remedied...it looks absolutely delicious!
Have a Brilliant Weekend!:))
it certainly is soup time now! I think I may try this. We do have rutabaga in our local grocery stores.
I haven't heard the term "swede"in years. I am sure it is what I call turnip, and some call rutabaga, but perhaps there are subtle differences I am not aware of.
Oh I am going to try this when weather gets cooler :-) Thank you...
I have not had that vegetable either.
Yum. It is getting too hot for soup here, but I do love it.
Must be good, I'll try.
Have a lovely weekend
Warm hugs

A bowl of soup is always welcome on my table. I'm not familiar with the swede root, but that's not a problem. I can always make inquiries about it.
What a wonderful soup! My mother would so enjoy this recipe...I'll be sharing it with her! Happy weekend! Love and hugs!
I don't believe I've ever had swede. This soup looks delicious!
This sounds amazing. I have never had a swede- but now I am curious. Looks and sounds so tasty. :)
