Soupe aux Choux Paysanne

Cabbage soup Peasant Style

Clean and cut up 3 medium-sized turnips, 3 medium-sized carrots, and the
tender part of 1-2 leeks.  Cook them gently for a few minutes in 1 generous
tablespoon butter, stirring constantly.  Add 6 to 8 cups boiling water and
simmer slowly for about an hour, or until the vegatables are tender.  Add 1
small cabbage, finely chopped, to the soup, together with 1-2 cloves garlic,
finely chopped, and simmer for 30 minutes longer.  Mash the mixture well and
serve.
