Kohlrabi Soup
From CSA Farmers Market
<p>To make things a little healthier, I have substituted Canadian bacon for the bacon, and sometimes add other veggies, like broccoli. I’ve never removed the meat before serving the soup! In fact, I’ve floated some shaved cheese and bacon bits on top of the bowl before serving.</p>Source: Patricia Gall from the Cooks Garden (Entered by Marian Listwak )
