1
Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a 4-quart stock pot over medium-high heat. Add and saute the onion until a light golden color, then stir in the tomato and garlic.
2
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and continue cooking until the tomato is soft and partially dissolved, about 15 minutes.
3
Add in the carrots, sweet potato, and turnip, pour in the water, cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
4
Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and puree the soup (a hand-blender works well).
5
Stir in the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Bring the soup back to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 2 more minutes, then serve.
