Easy Blanching for Freezing

When cooking cauliflower, broccoli cut florets to size and place in a pot steamer, instead of throwing away the stalky ends chop them also and place on top of the florets to steam for half the required time. Then remove stalks and put in freezer bags to freeze for future soup making. You will soon have a stock pile for soup making and have been spared the energy and time it takes to blanch these for correct freezing.
