Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 27 minutes
Total Time 37 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 sweet onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 pounds carrots peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dry
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 6-7 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes, carrots, thyme, and bay leaves.
  • Add the chicken stock and bring to boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until vegetables are soft. Remove the bay leaves.
  • Mash the mixture using a hand masher. For a smoother consistency, blend in a food processor until smooth. You will probably have to do this in 2 batches. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
