Saute the slices in butter for 3-4 mintues turning them to color both sides. Add a couple of teaspoons of brown sugar. When the sugar has melted with the butter add enough water to nearly cover the slices. Continue cooking

TURNIP SOUP
To begin, keep in mind that none of the measures need to be exact. Add more carrots or a couple of apples, peeled and diced, for a little sweetness.

It is important to have a heavy bottom pan with a lid that fits well.
