cumin and sweet potato soupCumin is my most favourite spice. It’s so tasty and warming and I especially love the beautiful flavours it gives to this simple winter soup.

Soup is a fantastic way of eating well during the colder seasons. It’s easy to cook, can be frozen and reheated for a ‘rainy day’ and you can make large batches of it. It’s a healthy but lazy way of eating which is always a good thing! We don’t always feel motivated to cook when we’re busy or tired so it’s nice to know that you have some pre-made portions of delicious soup waiting for you in the freezer that all you have to do is reheat and serve!

The other great thing about soup is you can add heaps of different types vegetables and use up the ones that might be close to their used by date in the bottom of your fridge.

Why not make up a big batch this evening to get you through the weekend.
