There was a time when making soup meant tearing open a packet of packaged soup powder and preparing it according to the instructions. Don't remember how or when I started making soup from scratch but now it's been years since I bought one of those soup powders. Making your own soup is such a homely, comforting experience. Ditch the commercial stuff and make your own thick, creamy, flavorful soups that are full of nutrition and homemade goodness.

Starchy with a delicate buttery flavour, sweet potatoes are among the best veggies to add texture o home-made soups. Tomatoes give the soup it's vibrant colour and adds a tangy taste that perfectly complements the creaminess of the root-veggie. A super easy and nourishing soup to whip up on a rainy Saturday evening!
