Allrecipes.com

Ingredients:
3 c diced peeled turnips
2 c sliced carrots
1/4 tsp ground ginger
3/4 c water
1 tsp salt, divided
1/2 c chopped onion (onion powder)
1/2 c diced celery (normally I'd use this but I didn't have any so I used celery seed)
3 T butter
3 T all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp pepper
1-1/2 c milk
1 c shredded cheddar

Directions:
In a saucepan, combine turnips, carrots, ginger, water and 1/2 tsp salt. Cover and cook over medium high heat for 10-15 min or until vegetables are tender; drain and reserve liquid. Set vegetables aside.
In a skillet, saute onion and celery in butter until tender; stir in flour, pepper and remaining salt. Add milk and the vegetable liquid; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in cheese until melted; stir in the vegetables and heat through.
Makes 4 servings.
