Soups are one of the best parts of winter and this is one of the best soups.
It's spicy, it's salty, it's mildly sweet, mildly "cheezy" and full of flavours.
Made with broccoli, courgette, peas, chilli peppers, sweet potato, corriander and a dash of nutritional yeast, this soup has a lot of goodness going on.
The spice is perfect for warming you up after coming in from the freezing cold outside and is very beneficial for those suffering from a blocked nose as it helps clear the airways and gives you an immune boost.
But aside from the fact that this soup is beneficial for your health, it's also just so damn delicious.
