3 cups (1 large) peeled and very coarsely chopped sweet potato
1 cup (1 large) peeled and thickly sliced parsnip
1 cup (1 medium) thickly sliced leek (white and pale green parts only)
3 large cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons MAGGI Granulated Chicken Flavor Bouillon

1 (12-ounce) can NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Fat Free Milk
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage
Roasted pepitas (optional)
