Instructions

  1. In a medium sauce pan add the broth, the mushrooms, and the chopped turnips.

  3. Transfer all of the mixture to a blender and puree with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Notes

  1. The mushrooms can be omitted and milk and butter can be used if you can tolerate dairy but make sure to not add the maple syrup.
  2. Half the turnips can also be exchanged for potatoes if you want a more traditional style of mashed potatoes as well and omit the maple syrup.
