Delicious! I followed the directions fairly closely except to halve the olive oil, use canned beans instead of dry, and I skipped the potatoes because I don't like them in soup. I also only put two slices of toast (whole wheat bread, to keep it healthy) in the soup initially, because I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out after soaking in soup for so long....but it was FABULOUS, like eating soup from a bread bowl and scraping up some of the soggy bread at the bottom that's sopped up all the delicious soup flavor. I didn't even think it needed Parmesan cheese, though it's certainly good with it. Flavorful even without significant seasoning, nutritious, and TASTY - I will definitely make this again when I have the time.

I'd never had turnips before, but I wanted to try them so I made this recipe. I thought it tasted delicious! The flavor combination was great. These aren't potato fries, of course, and I found that I didn't actually like them with ketchup the way I eat regular or sweet potato fries...but they were great on their own and with the brown gravy I also happened to be serving with the meal. My only issue was that they were pretty mushy. I cut them thin, like shoestring fries, since I had read in other reviews that larger fries didn't crisp, but I still didn't have any luck. They baked into a mushy fry-shape (but they still tasted good!). I ended up leaving half the fries in the oven to keep them warm for my husband's late dinner, and actually they had firmed up a bit more by the time he got to them. Maybe I just need to try baking them for 30-40 minutes instead. Thanks for the recipe; I will definitely make it again!

Really good. Next time I'll double the basil and oregano, and probably take the honey down to 1.5 tbsp rather than 2; it was just a little bit sweet for my taste. This was excellent on a veggie pizza with a whole wheat crust!
