Ingredients

  • 1 large boniato root peeled and trimmed, cut into 1nch chunks
  • 3 medium fresh turmeric root pieces peeled and chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves peeled and halved
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme plus more for garnish
  • bay leaves
  • ½ cup Unsweetened Almond milk plus more if needed
  • ½ tablespoon smoked sweet paprika
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place the boniato and turmeric in a large pot with cold, salted water enough to cover by about 1 inch
  • Add the garlic cloves, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and cook for about 30-40 minutes, until barely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
  • Carefully drain off the cooking liquid. Remove the thyme and bay leaf. Mash the veggies a bit.
  • Add the Almond milk, paprika, salt and pepper.
  • Place all ingredients in a regular blender and puree to desired consistency. I like smooth with a few chunks
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.
