This is just delicious! I made it as posted, except I substituted red potatoes because that is what I had on hand. Used my immersion blender, and this was wonderfully quick and easy! The nutmeg amount was perfect, and just loved the blue cheese....eliminated the need for salt! Thanks for sharing! Made for Rookie tag game.

A wonderful soup recipe that is a huge departure from the ordinary! I love rutabagas (aka wax turnips), which is the predominant flavor in this soup and pairs really well with the leeks (another favorite of mine). I used the 2% milk and cider vinegar options, which worked out very well. I used my immersion blender to puree the vegetables, which is a much easier method. The blue cheese and the chives were the perfect complement to this soup. I will definitely want to make this again. Made for PRMR Tag Game.
