Ingredients:
1 cup turnips -- diced, measure uncooked
16 ounces frozen cauliflower -- thawed before cooking
1 clove garlic -- peeled and halved1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons soft butter
2 tablespoons heavy cream

How to Prepare:
Bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add diced turnips and garlic. Boil for 5 minutes, then add thawed cauliflower and boil for 10 minutes or until all veggies are fork tender.
Drain well and use a spoon to smoosh out as much water through the colander as possible.
Put into a bowl and add cream, butter, salt and pepper. Using a stick mixer(like the Thunder Stick or Braun kind), puree until smooth and well blended. Serve immediately.
You can do this in a blender or food processor, but I like the stick mixer for control.
