Ingredients in Savory Sweet Potato Carrot Soup
This soup is so vibrant in color it is a feast for the eyes first! Carrots and sweet potatoes are both root vegetables and high in beta carotene. The human body converts beta carotene into vitamin A (retinol). We need vitamin A for healthy skin , our immune system, and good eye health and vision. No wonder soup is so good for us to consumer during cold and flu season!
