  1           teaspoon  basil

     1/4      teaspoon  thyme
     1/4           cup  dry white wine

     1/2           cup  gruyere cheese -- grated
                        salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

* I used thawed frozen peas in place of fresh. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onions, turnip and potatoes; cover and cook 8 minutes. Sprinkle in all seasonings; pour in wine and chicken stock. Mix well and correct seasoning. Cover and continue cooking 30 minutes. Add peas; cover and cook another 8 minutes. Mix in cheese and serve at once. Accompany with slices of fresh French Bread, if desired.
