Turnip Soup

Put a piece of very lean and boneless fresh pork in a large soup pot and cover with water.

Salt and pepper to taste and cook until pork is tender enough to shred.

In pork broth, with the shredded pork, add peeled and diced turnip roots and one onion that has been chopped.

Finish filling pot with water, to cover the roots.

Cook until roots are very tender.

With a potato masher, mash up a bit, and sprinkle a tablespoon or two of cornmeal over top of soup and stir well.

This will thicken it.
