My CSA, Siena Farms, issued a kohlrabi challenge--to show how we cooked the kohlrabi from this week's box and share it with the community. I wanted to make soup. After scouring my cookbooks and food52, I did not see a recipe, yet, for a soup made with kohlrabi. Thanks to the reassurance and suggestions from food52 member, cupcakeprose, I got to work. Kohlrabi has the same texture as potatoes in a pureed soup and a nice flavor, with a hint of brassica. Thanks to my CSA, I have a lot of them in my fridge. We also have a good amount of beer. For this soup I used a porter. The cheddar cheese I used for finishing the soup also happened to be made with ale. It was delicious!
