MME POMPOM’S POTAGE AUX CINQ LEGUMES

2 medium turnips (the purple and white French variety)
1 round lettuce
3 leeks

Peel the root vegetables and wash the lettuce.  Wash and trim the leeks.  Chop everything roughly.  Melt the butter in a pan, add the vegetables, cover and sweat for about 10 minutes.  Add the water, bring to a simmer and leave to cook gently for 20 to 30 minutes.  It is important not to overcook the vegetables.
