    Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup is a delicious and healthy dish you can enjoy all year round but is particularly lovely to enjoy in Autumn when the nights are drawing in, and the weather starts to turn chilly.

    This vibrant soup is packed with vitamins, minerals, and fibre essential for good health. It's also easy to make at home, making it an ideal meal option if you want something quick but nutritious.

    This recipe was inspired by my Carrot & Coriander Soup and Roasted Red Pepper & Sweet Potato Soup.
