Sweet Potato Puree

This recipe is wonderful, especially in the wintertime when it's cold and you want some satisfying comfort food. It is so sweet you would think there is honey, syrup or sugar added in. But it's just the delicious sweetness of sweet potatoes and carrots all on their own...little veggie rockstars! Thanks to Giada for this one!

1/2 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. carrots, peeled and sliced
1 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup water

2. Saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes. 


3. Add garlic and saute for one more minute.

5. Add the chicken stock and water. Bring to a boil.


6. Reduce heat and summer for 25 minutes.
