We really liked it. It was a huge kohlrabi - and we ended up with quite a bit left over. After Thanksgiving, I dumped the leftover puree in a pot with turkey stock and some leftover turkey and turned it into a fabulous cream of turkey soup! It was so good, I need to turn it into a "real" recipe.

We liked raw so well never did try cooked.45 years later I'm finally finding ways to cook and use the leaves. So you know we did not totally waste these leaves all these years we did put them on a compost pile. (sorry please stop shuddering)We grow our own and am anxious to try the puree and suggested variations. Just got the computer so will keep checking. See you can teach an old dog new things.

Kohlrabi that is conventionally produced on a huge farm with chemicals will likely have a lot less flavor than some that is homegrown or from a small organic farm. There's the possibility, too, that you simply don't care for kohlrabi.<br /><br />I'm afraid I don't have an exact measurement for the leaf/bulb ratio (I just use however many leaves I have and always like how it comes out), but if you want to give the recipe another try, I would suggest using fewer leaves (which I also like to use in salads when they're small) and seeing if you like it better.Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-83505380556737433462011-02-10T22:55:00.055-06:002011-02-10T22:55:00.055-06:00I was given a couple of kohlrabi, being told it ha...I was given a couple of kohlrabi, being told it had a slight turnip flavor. I like and usually grow Toykyo Cross (mild white turnip). So I hit the internet looking for tips on how to cook them and came across your enthusiastic blog and equally enthusiastic following. Tonite I made the recipe, but it turned out not to my liking -Since there was no measurement for the leaves, I'm thinking I used too many and drown out the bulb flavor...

My only complaint was overall the stack could have used some crunch; the potatoes and puree together had an obviously mushy texture. I may try to include some raw kohlrabi next time.

Purée until smooth.</i><br /><br />Looking back, I should probably reword it to simply say 'add the mushroom mixture and cream. . .' to make it a little clearer, but unfortunately due to a weird technical Blogger glitch, if I go back in and try to edit the post now, all sorts of stuff will get messed up.
