This soup is 100% perfect for the current climate for two reasons. One, it is full of comforting flavors like sweet potatoes and those warming spices like nutmeg, chili, cumin, turmeric, and healthful herbs like thyme and garlic. Two, it’s super good for you. This soup is just the thing you need to boost your immune system, reset your insides, and do something healthy for you and yours.
If you are anything like me, the only workout you’ve been getting lately is when you twist the cork out of a wine bottle. This souping reset is just the thing for right now.
