==============
Rutabaga Soup
==============

Eight cups water
4 cups diced rutabaga
8 oz. Stew Beef
1 tsp. thyme leaves
1 med chopped onion
Salt and Pepper to taste

Put all ingredients into a kettle and bring to a boil, slowly for three hours. 
(In a crock pot, simmer all night).  Remove meat and cut into small pieces.  
Mash rutabagas or process in a blender (Caution: blending hot liquids can be 
dangerous.  Please consult your blender's instructions.)  Return rutabagas 
and meat to pot.  Correct seasoning. 

For an added bit of flavor, serve with a dollop of fresh sour cream.
