Mmmmmm..... Soup

At this time of year, I really enjoy a good soup.  When it's blustery and cold outside, nothing warms me up like a bowl of steaming soup.  Well, maybe a Carribean vacation would warm me up too, but I'll have to stick with the soup.....

I made this Roasted Red Pepper and Sweet Potato Soup this weekend.  Not only is it full of flavour, it's good for you too!
