Yields4 ServingsPrep Time15 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time30 mins

Ingredients

 2 cups turnips (scrubbed and cut into 1” cubes)
 1 cup potatoes, white or purple (see Chef’s Notes), scrubbed and cut into 1” cubes
 ¼ cup shallots (diced)
 5 medium garlic cloves (minced)
 ½ cup water
 2 tbsp plant-based milk (plain, unsweetened) +2 Tbsp as needed
 2 tbsp plant based yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
 ¼ tsp salt (optional)
 ground black pepper (optional) to taste
 1 tsp dill (optional) minced

Directions

1

Add the turnips and potatoes to a large stockpot and fill the pot with water, enough to cover the vegetables.

2

Heat over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, then simmer until the turnips are tender (they may take longer to cook than the potatoes), about 15 minutes.

3

Meanwhile, sauté the shallots and garlic: Heat a small stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shallots and garlic, cooking for one minute, stirring continuously.

4

Add the water, turn the heat down to medium, and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

5

Transfer the shallots, garlic, and any water left in the pan to a blender or food processor.

6

Drain the potatoes and turnips (once tender) and transfer to the blender.

7

Add 2 tablespoons of plant-based milk, yogurt, and optional salt, pepper, and dill. Blend until creamy and smooth.

8

Taste and adjust for additional flavor of choice. If it’s too thick add the additional 2 tablespoons of plant milk.
