CARROT & SWEET
POTATO SOUP
Many foods have stimulating effects on the immune system and it can be a simple thing
to include them into your diet. Also by eating organic or seasonally you will be making
sure that the food you eat is richest in essential vitamins and minerals thus aiding your
immune system.
This is great soup recipe I found from "nibbles and bits" that is full of immune boosting
nutrients, and very importantly tastes fantastic and is easy to make.
Ingredients
Steps
◊ 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut
into small cubes
1. Place the stock, water, sweet
potato, carrots, onion and garlic
in a pot over medium heat. Bring
everything to the boil.
◊ 1/2 kilo of carrots, peeled and sliced
◊ 1 small brown onion chopped
◊ 3 cloves of garlic, sliced
◊ 2 cups vegetable stock
◊ 1 cup water
◊ 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root minced
◊ 1 1/2 teaspoons of dried dill
◊ 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
◊ 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
◊ 1 cup almond milk
2. Once the stock is boiling, reduce the
heat a little and simmer the vegetables
until they are tender. This usually takes
15- 20 minutes.
3. When the vegetables are tender,
turn off the heat. Blend the stock and
vegetables. (I use a wand hand blender
for ease).
4. Return the soup to the pot and stir
in the spices and milk. Reheat the
soup if it is a little cool for you.
5. Enjoy!!
