Possibly Rapes in Pottage, which is onions, and turnips, carrots, or  
skirrits (sort of a water turnip, very hard to find) in "good broth", which many  
people make as a vegetarian dish by using veggie broth.  I made it once  with 
chicken broth and it was even better :-)
 
Here's my version using veggie broth:
 
RAPES IN POTAGE
from Curye on Inglysch, English, 14th century
as  redacted by Duke Cariadoc of the Bow
and adapted by Lady Brangwayna Morgan 
 
Takes rapus and make heem clene, and waissh hem clene;  quarter hem;  
perboile hem, take hem vp.  Cast hem in a gode broth and seethe hem; mynce  oynouns 
and cast therto safroun and salt, and messe it forth with powdour  douce.  In 
the self wise make of pastunakes and skyrwittes.
 
1 lb turnips, carrots, and parsnips  mixed       6 threads  saffron      
powder douce: 2 t sugar
2 cups  vegetable  broth                                  3/4 t  salt         
                       3/8 t cinnamon
1/2 lb  onions                                                                
                             3/8 t ginger
 
Wash, peel, and quarter turnips (or cut into eighths if they are large),  
cover with boiling water and parboil for 15 minutes.  Clean carrots and  parsnips 
and cut them up into large bite-size pieces and parboil 10  minutes.  Mince 
onions.  Drain veggies and put them with onions and  vegetable broth in a pot 
and bring to a boil.  Crush saffron into about 1 t  of the broth and add 
seasonings to potage.  Cook another 15-20 minutes,  until vegetables are soft to a 
fork and some of the liquid is boiled  down.
