Do you like sweet potato? No? D you like carrots? No? They are tasteless? What if I tell you they taste yum in the Sweet Potato and Carrot soup. Believe me, it was a yum mild warm soup and totally healthy.
Seriously, I never liked sweet potato but I have some in my refrigerator because I give that to my son sometimes. So I thought why not make a soup for myself for my healthy eating month.
HEALTH BENEFIT
Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene, which is also found in carrots
They are also a very good source of vitamin C, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid, and vitamin B6.
They provide potassium, dietary fiber, niacin, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and phosphorus.
I am using extra virgin olive oil and no butter
