Healthy & Oil Free Veg Rutabaga And Carrot Soup#SundayFunday

Rutabaga is called Shalgam in India. Shalgam is a member of the radish family that tastes much milder and sweet, is a winter is a root vegetable. This is the first time I have cooked shalgam. For me shalgam and turnip / kohlrabi / navalkol in Marathi are two different vegetables. Turnip is light green and shalgam is white with a pink band. I found shalgam/ rutabaga to be sweet.   
I,  may be wrong, correct me if someone has the exact information on these two vegetables. I, was grown up eating homegrown turnips / navalkol.  Hence, I could see the difference in taste and color. 

This is a very healthy, oil free, vegan and gluten free soup.  Its so delicious , since rutabaga has a sweet taste.  
Serves 3
Ingredients

2 Medium Rutabaga  - diced
1 Large Carrot - diced
1 Large Onion - finely diced
6 Cups Vegetable stock
Salt and Black pepper to taste

Method 
In a large pot / pan add all the above ingredients except salt and pepper. Bring it to a rolling boil, then reduce the flame and cover the pot, let the veggies soften. Let it simmer for an hour or till the soup should also reduces to 4 cups.
When the soup reduces to 4 cups turn the heat off and let the soup cool a little before blending it. I used the immersion / stick blender. Place it back on low flame add salt and pepper to taste. Let it come to boil.  
Serve it warm with a dash of pepper and few basil leaves.
