Brian that soup looks fantastic! . As you know I use turnips a fair bit in my mashes and soups. Locally I can't get turnips and in this weather I haven't felt like driving 40 minutes to get them. Gotta have soup in this weather though. I've made two batches of soups in the last two weeks and used red radishes in them for the potato sub. Just halve or quarter them. I pan fry them with onions prior to adding to the pot of cooking soup. Even lower in carbs and hard to tell it's not potatoes in soup.
Good root vegetable for sure. It is a bit bigger in carbs than turnip and double that of radish but could fit low carb dishes in moderation for sure.
Rutabagas are sweeter and while we like them all, my wife is especially fond of rutabagas. Turnips, like around you, can be difficult to find...
I modified my response but you were quick on the trigger lol. They really aren't a whole lot higher than net carbs in turnips. Turnips around 6 net per cubed cup and rutabaga 8 or so. Definitely doable to work into a low carb dish you are right. Radishes work great in soups at around 4 next per cup.
I sub radishes a lot, they are always available and inexpensive...
I listen to a DVD concert every week. I miss going to see bands but just to $$$ now a days so I buy the DVD's and watch at home. I have a pretty good system. Today's is Nickelback from your country. May not be your kind of music but they jam! I pretty open when in comes to music. It a huge part of my life.

I hear you on the price of going to see the bands and the crowds I don't miss.
I listen to almost any music, country new and old first then the rest just fit in everywhere. depending on the day and the mood.
One day I could be listening to Hank Williams Senior, then Alice Cooper " The quite Room " album. Then right back to Goose Creek Symphony.
So that is why I say I am all over the place with music , ha ha ( I know a few Nickleback songs , but Rush I like better , Or BTO had a bunch of good music also.

I know this is not really a summer soup but it is so good. Recipe is missing 1/4 cup parmesan. That Clear Jel I got for my mustard pickles really works great as a thickener.

Got a heat warning for 110 heat index starting tomorrow , and I have a craving for chili .

Ah. Modified food starch. That I know. I use corn starch for thickening. And you're welcome. It is one of my favorite soup.
Man that's hot! We going into the 100's. Probably stay there for the summer. At least wont have to mow the lawn as much. We had a ton of rain this year and grass growing like crazy!
It's the humidity that makes it miserable .
I hear ya . I cut grass at my house 2 times a week ( could be 3 ) and have to drive out and do my Mom's . All I do is cut grass .
I could just about eat chili dogs everyday .
