Ingredients

3 pounds - parsnips
3 cloves - garlic
½ cup - half and half
4 tablespoons - unsalted butter
1 tbsp - fresh thyme or your favorite herbs
1 tsp - kosher salt
¼ tsp - black pepper

Instructions

Place the parsnips and garlic in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover by 1". Cover the pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Remove the lid and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the parsnips are fork tender.
Drain the parsnips well in a colander.
Place the parsnips back in the pot and add the softened butter and half and half. Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture until smooth. If you don't have one, puree in a blender or food processor.
Add the salt, pepper and fresh thyme, and stir well to combine. Serve and enjoy!
