Autumn weather is now here to stay and as soon as the colour of the leaves changes and the rainy days set in, I start craving hot soups. I don’t know about you, but nothing’s more satisfying when cooking up a quick soup when it’s rainy or cold outside. I love eating most of it pretty much immediately after cooking with fresh, crusty bread. It’s good for your soul, good for your tummy. And the best thing about soups is that you can literally throw all ingredients into a big pan, add water and just cook them into something delicious.
I like all soups but creamy soups are most definitely my favourite, especially the spicy ones like this Spicy Thai Butternut Squash Soup . Plus, they are very very healthy. Vegetable soups like this can provide a significant amount of the vitamins and minerals that your body needs. The overall amount of vitamins and minerals is dependent on the selection, variety and amount of vegetables featured in the soup, of course.
Sweet potatoes are a really excellent source of beta carotene, vitamin C, and potassium. They are high in fibre and relatively low in protein. They are also a decent source of many other vitamins and minerals.
Carrots are a really fantastic source of vitamin A, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, folate, vitamin E, and vitamin K.
So yes, eat more homemade soups using fresh vegetables. Just like this delicious and highly nutritious vegan sweet potato and carrot soup
