Is this Broccoli and ‘Cheese’ Soup Easy to Make?
Why yes, yes, it is! You literally chop and wash the turnips, stick them into a steam pot with the frozen broccoli, then steam it up for about 10 minutes until the veggies are soft. Next, toss them into a blender (I used my Ninja Fit Blender) with the remaining ingredients. Blend, divide it into 4 bowls, and enjoy! What could be easier?
Just a side note, if you don’t have a steam pot, you could just use one of these. They usually sell for less than $10 and they work great!
