Ingredients

  • 1 medium turnip, peeled and cubed
  • 2 medium parsnips, peeled and cubed

Method

  1. 01

    Peel 1 medium turnip and 2 medium parsnips, then cut both into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 02

    Place parsnip cubes in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 3 minutes.

  3. 03

    Add turnip cubes and continue steaming for another 11-12 minutes until both are completely fork-tender.

  4. 04

    Transfer to a blender with 3-4 tablespoons of steaming liquid.

  5. 05

    Blend until smooth and creamy; the parsnip's natural sweetness balances the mild bitterness of turnip.
