Day 9 – #Bigblogmasproject2014
Hey There,
So today’s post is all about healthy food. I’m always on and off the healthy wagon, so of course I am attempting a little pre Christmas diet, ready to make room for the extra helpings of roastys and chocolate over the festive period. With the drop in weather, I thought soup would be the perfect meal for my week in work. I had never made soup before, and am actually surprised at how easy it is to make, I mean very easy…
Healthy sweet potato and carrot soup, (4 Servings):
- 3 Sweet potatoes
- 8 Carrots
- 1 Onion
- 1 Garlic
- 3 Pints of veg stock
I started by peeling and chopping the sweet potato and carrots, then cooked them in an oven proof dish for about 20 minutes until soft. Roasting them in 1 cal spray.
I then cooked the onion and garlic until soft on the hob, added the sweet potato and carrots, then the veg stock, and blended all together.
I like my soups quite thick, so at this point I could of added more veg stock but I preferred not to.
And that’s all I had to do. I added a bit of Cayenne Pepper for a bit of spice, but it was the easiest and maybe the most delicious meal I’ve ever made myself.
What Winter dishes have you been making? Have you ever made soup?
Lots of love,

P.S I drove back from Wales Monday morning, straight to work, (Crazy I know), but I had my very first Costa Christmas cup, how cute is this snowman?
