Sweet potatoes, a nutritional goldmine
Full of vitamin A, sweet potatoes are a really good source of energy. They are also rich in fibre, have a low glycemic index and are great for helping you retain your lovely figure.

So, without further ado, here is our recipe for this soup which is both delicious and very easy to make.
