That also works for broccoli. Or half broccoli and half cauliflower. Here's one of my favourites .....

Title: Simply Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Thanks! I like these simple recipes that allow the nuanced flavor of
the main ingredients to stand out. I'd definitely make it with fresh broccoli.

Depends on the dish I am making. With my tiny, lack of counter/prep
space kitchen I often go for frozen for the convenience factor. It's a
PITA to have to move a lot of stuff to place your cutting board then
put all that away to move on to the next step, ad nauseum. The upside
is that when the meal is alll prepped and ready to cook - you've done
the clean-up as you go so there is little left to finish off.

Title: Dave's Freezer Vegetable-Beef Soup
Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Potatoes
Yield: 9 Servings

1 Can (or 2) frozen left-over
- vegetables; corn, peas,
- green beans, carrots, and/
- or broccoli/cauliflower
2 Sliced carrots; if needed
3 Ribs celery w/tops; sliced
2 md Onions; diced
2 md Potatoes; peeled, diced 1/4"
14 oz Can diced tomatoes;
- undrained
3 c Water
1 ts Salt
4 Cracked peppercorns
1 lb Leftover beef; diced
3 ts GFS/Minor's beef base

Take the container(s) of left-over vegetables from the
freezer and put into a 5 (or so) quart crock-pot.

While the pot is melting the frozen ingredients prepare
the carrots, celery, onion, and taters. Add to the pot.

Open the can of tomatoes, pour over other ingredients
in the crock-pot.

Heat the water to a simmer, add the beef, beef base and
salt/pepper, stirring well until beef base is dissolved
and all is well combined. Remove from heat and pour
over crock-pot ingredients.

Cover and cook for 3 to 4 hours (high) or 6 to 8 hours
(low)

Serves six to twelve servings

NOTE: I save bits and bobs of leftover veg in a washed
and cleaned tomato juice can, covering each addition
with water and freezing as I go. When I have a can (or
two) full I am ready to make this soup.
