What's cooking? Wednesday - Broccoli Cauliflower soup

This is another of my experiments with the VitaMix blender.  It's super good and is adaptable to different diets.  I use imitation bacon bits because my husband doesn't eat bacon but either is fine...whatever your preference!  Same with cheese powder...you could use shredded cheddar cheese instead.  Anyway, play around with it and see if your family likes it too.

Broccoli Cauliflower Soup...yum!

2 c. broccoli florets
2 c. cauliflower florets
