A stick-to-your-ribs, comforting soup combining neeps (yellow turnip/rutabaga) and tatties (potatoes) with a mix of flavour-enhancing ingredients. Make it a meal with a cheesy whole-wheat soda bread.

Robbie Burns Day is Wednesday and folks in Scotland and other places around the world will celebrate the late, great Scottish Bard with a range of events. A Burns supper will be among them and main dishes served will include haggis and roast beef accompanied with neeps and tatties.

To make neeps and tatties, the vegetables are cooked, often mashed, and then served separately, or in a dish that combines the two. In my recipe I did the latter. And rather then serve the neeps and tatties as a side dish for a main course, I whirled them into a hearty, comforting soup that’s meat-free if you make it with vegetable stock.

Add stock and potatoes to the pot and bring the soup to a gentle simmer . Adjust heat, as needed, to maintain that gentle simmer. Simmer soup, uncovered, until vegetables very tender, about 20 minutes. Place 2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a bowl and whisk to combine. Add butter and with your fingers, two forks or a pastry cutter, work into the flour mixture until thoroughly distributed. Mix in the cheese.
