Vegan Kohlrabi Soup served
Tasty vegetable soup with kohlrabi and carrots

German Turnip (Kohlrabi) Soup

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Soups Quick Meals
Kohlrabi is often an unjustly neglected vegetable, yet when prepared properly, it produces a sweet, nutty flavor profile. In this soup, 'sweating' the vegetables (slowly sautéing in oil) brings out natural sugars, resulting in a rich and creamy effect even without cream. A true vitamin bomb that won't weigh you down.

Instructions

1 ✓

Cut vegetables (kohlrabi, carrots) into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. Finely chop the onion.

Tip: Uniform size isn't just aesthetic: it ensures everything softens at the same time.
2 ✓

Heat oil in the pot, toss in onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté on low heat for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.

Tip: Salt helps draw water out of the onion, so it steams instead of burning. (Osmosis)
3 ✓

Add garlic and caraway, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Tip: Toasting spices intensifies their flavor, but be careful, garlic burns quickly!
4 ✓

Dump in kohlrabi and carrots, toss in the oily base for 2-3 minutes.

Tip: This short frying caramelizes the vegetable surface, adding deeper flavor to the soup. (Start of Maillard reaction)
5 ✓

Pour in broth, bring to boil, then simmer on low for 20 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Tip: Don't overcook, kohlrabi should have a bite (al dente), not be mushy.
6 ✓

Taste, season with salt and pepper if needed, and stir in fresh parsley at the end.

Tip: Parsley's Vitamin C content drops with heat, so add it only before serving.

Recipe FAQ

The soup is too thin, how can I thicken it?
Take out some of the vegetables, blend them, then pour back. This is the healthiest thickening method.
The kohlrabi was woody, what to do?
Unfortunately, the woody part must be cut off before cooking because it won't soften even after cooking. Choose smaller, tender bulbs when buying.
