• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 large Spanish onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan until shimmering.

4. Add the wine and cook until almost evaporated, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the 4 cups of chicken stock and bring to a boil.
6. Reduce the heat to moderately low and simmer until the turnips are tender, about 25 minutes.
