What the heck is kohlrabi? Glad you asked! It's basically a cabbage masquerading as a root veggie. You'll likely find it hanging out at your local farmers' market or tucked away inside your CSA box. It has a very mild and slightly sweet flavor so it's great sliced up and eaten raw or blended up into a yummy soup such as this one!
