Wash the unpeeled turnips, bring them once to the boil, rinse again and cut off the green tops. Cut into irregular pieces, barely cover with water and cook until tender.
Rub through a sieve while hot. Stir in ½ tablespoon of browned flour, mix well and bring to the boil. Thin with stock and boil again.
