    This Sweet Potato Peanut Soup is the best thing for a cold winter's day! It's warming and comforting, spicy and flavourful and super nourishing!

    Sweet Potato Peanut Soup (Vegan + GF)

    There's no better antidote to a miserable January day than a huge bowl of soup. This Sweet Potato Peanut Soup was inspired by my Chickpea Sweet Potato Peanut Curry and it's equally flavoursome, hearty and healthy.

    This soup is also really easy to make, as all you need to do is throw the ingredients in a pot and let it bubble away. Then when you're ready to eat you can just blend it all up!

    I like to add a tin of white beans (cannellini, haricot or butter beans work) for extra protein and fibre. They also create a seriously creamy texture and make the soup much more filling too.

    This soup is really easy to make a big batch of to store in the freezer in individual portions. If you have a way of heating up soup at work it also makes a delicious and healthy packed lunch!
