Directions

In a large heavy saucepan, melt the margarine over moderate heat; add the onion and garlic and cook, uncovered, until the onion is soft about 5 minutes.
Stir in the apple, potato, turnips, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and chicken broth; cover and cook for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
In a food processor or electric blender, puree the mixture in batches, adding a little broth or water if it seems too thick.
Return the puree to the saucepan and reheat if necessary.
