Whenever I boil turnip soup, I usually will but the slim type or turnip. Rather than the big size of turnip. And I love the turnip that still attach with the leaves. Normally I will wash and clean it and cooked together with the soup. Since I cannot find the dried octopus in my pantry, I substitute it with dried clams that we bought from Pulau Pangkor.

TURNIP WITH PORK RIBS AND DRIED CLAMS + WOLFBERRY SOUP
This soup is very tasty and easy to prepare. This is the first time I use dried clams to cook this soup. Which makes the soup tastes more favourable and sweet.
