Ingredients

  • 2 medium parsnips, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets

Method

  1. 01

    Peel and cube 2 medium parsnips. Cut 1 cup of cauliflower into small, even florets.

  2. 02

    Place parsnip cubes in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 4 minutes.

  3. 03

    Add cauliflower florets and continue steaming for another 9-10 minutes until both are very tender.

  4. 04

    Transfer to a blender with 3 tablespoons of steaming liquid.

  5. 05

    Blend until silky smooth; the parsnip gives natural sweetness and the cauliflower adds a creamy body.
