This hearty soup is filling and satisfying without being heavy in the least: hearty from the turnips and lentils and light because it’s made with water—and it’s vegan as well. Most of the work comes from dicing the vegetables; the actual cooking time is no more than 30–45 minutes.

This recipe for Garlic Confit and Garlic Oil will provide you with two very useful additions to your kitchen pantry. As a bonus, you will have a wonderful garlic-infused oil to use for brushing on Bruschetta, grilling or sautéing vegetables, adding to pasta dishes, and (the best news) boosting your immune system. It’s so simple and useful that once you make this, you will never want to be without it. Spread confit liberally on a toasted baguette, add to mashed potatoes, or top mixed leafy greens as we do. They both keep for several weeks when chilled and submerged in oil.
