Red cabbage and turnip soup

I was searching through the shelves in my garage last week (we use it as a store room) and I discovered a red cabbage and a turnip, both of which had seen better days. I stripped away the outer leaves of the cabbage and found it was fine inside. The turnip was a bit dried out but still usable. So, I put the two together, added some artichokes from the unending supply on the allotment and made them into a soup. Not the best one I have made but it was not bad.
