I just love how easy it is to make this healthy and nutritious soup without using too much seasonings as the carrot and sweet potatoes are already naturally sweet. I chose to steam them instead of boiling them so most if not all nutrients and goodness can be kept behind. And to give it a little more texture, I’ve sprinkled heart-friendly seeds on top just for that crunch and bite. Goes so well with my favourite rye bread. Enjoy!
