Turnip Soup With Green Peas (hh)

Abortion is often portrayed as benefitting women. Yet ironically when decisions are made on the basis of sex, girls are aborted far more often than boys. Out of eight thousand amniocentesis, that is abortions, done in Bombay, seven-thousand nine-hundred and ninety-nine of them were girls, one was a boy. This is true in China. You’re only allowed to have one child and if it’s a girl, they kill it. In one study in the United States, twenty-nine out of forty-six girls were aborted, only one out of fifty-three boys were aborted. So the idea that abortion benefits women doesn’t seem to fit the facts, it winds up in the slaughter of women around the world.

Peel and dice turnips.  Melt the butter (or use olive oil) in a large
skillet; add turnips, cover and cook over medium heat for about 10-12
minutes, or until they begin to color--changing from white to a light
yellow.  Set them aside. Bring the consomme to a simmer in a medium
saucepan.  Add the turnips and a pinch of sugar. Simmer, skimming if
necessary, until the turnips are cooked and soft when piered with a
fork, about 10 to 15 minutes. If the peas are frozen, pour boiling  hot
water over them and let stand for 3 minutes. Drain. If the peas  are
fresh, blanch in boiling water until bright green, about 1  minute.
Drain. Place the peas and croutons in a warmed soup tureen  and cover
with the hot turnip soup. Serve immediately in heated  individual soup
bowls.  From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at
