When the temperature drops and the sidewalks disappear beneath inches of ice, there is nothing as nice as a warm bowl of soup.
The thing is, all the additives in canned soup probably won’t gel with your New Year’s resolution, and making soup from scratch always seemed a bit intimidating. The good news is making soup doesn’t have to be a challenge. When you decide what goes into the pot, there is no reason to fear sneaky, less-than-healthy ingredients.
This recipe has a good kick to it: with just enough sweetness from the vanilla and sweet potatoes, it also has a bit of tanginess to keep things interesting, Ginger also adds zest, and comes with a slew of health benefits, including antioxidant and direct anti-inflammatory effects. This recipe is substantial enough to make a meal of and addictive enough to eat often.
Just try this recipe and see if it doesn’t silence your apprehension to make soup. Trust me, one spoonful in and you’ll forget all about your soggy socks.

This soup is much easier to make than you’d expect, but tastes fantastic! Use it to impress your friends and feed your soul.
