It is time to start making soups again. I love the fall season. The weather changes, well not in Florida it just becomes more humid and a lot more rain unfortunately, the produce changes, and the holidays are upon us. I just adore it! Soups are one of my favorite recipes to make. This carrot ginger sweet potato soup is a fabulous quick recipe to make. It is a bowl filled with flavor and so much nutrients.
I know it’s time to make soup when I need to clean out the fridge of vegetables. Blending together different vegetables with a bone broth and some spices is one of the best comfort meals. I especially like when the soups are thick and pureed. The creamy texture with the warmth of the temperature just fills your belly with definitely nourishment, but also with just pure goodness.
I love that feeling of satisfaction from food, good food! It’s like the food feeds more than your nutritional needs, but also your soul and comforts you. That feeling when a meal hits the spot and you grin with joy from the deliciousness of the meal but also from the satisfaction you received from it. Well basically that is how I feel about soups. It’s this comforting sensation like a big hug!
