Salsify Soup

My mom went to the farmers market and came back with some salsify. We needed to find something to do with it so we came up with a recipe from eatlikeagirl.com that we slightly modified. Salsify is kinda like a parsnip and supposedly tastes like oysters but I didnt detect any of that. You really should try and cook the soup enough to get the salsify as soft as possible as it is a bit tough.

Step 1: Ingredients

1 lb salsify

1 bulb of garlic

1/2 onion

1 quart of broth

1 carrot

1 potato

1/2 cup red lentils

2 bay leaves

3 sprigs of thyme

lemon juice

salt 

pepper
