Roasted carrot sweet potato soup is rich in Vitamin A. Warm up with a bowl of this sweet and savory soup.
Seasonal eating is a great way to not only save money but also to eat vegetables and fruit and the height of freshness. The Fall season offers a variety of root vegetables and squash that make delicious side dishes and soups.

I like to roast vegetables because roasting brings out their natural sweetness. Roasting vegetables also helps preserve their nutrient content.
When boiling vegetables you do lose some nutrients in the water. Roasting does take time, so if you are in a hurry you may want to cook the vegetables differently.
After the vegetables are roasted they are combined with vegetable broth and cooked further so the soup can be pureed. This soup is really filling. I can only eat about half a bowl.

Looks delish! We are going on a diet that doesn't allow sweet potato, but I'm keeping this one in pocket for the fall!
I've been wanting to use my immersion blender for a soup. This looks perfect to try!
When ever I'm making a blended soup, roasted carrots always find their way in there! So good!
This is a lovely recipe!

You can never go wrong with a classic sweet potato soup. I just love here how you have roasted the veggies first.. I have to try the recipe out.
Made this for friends last night. The vegable roasting indeed adds a depth of flavor as does the paprika. Recipe is easy and DELICIOUS and filling. Great for a blustery fall day. I added smoked sea salt and a can of coconut milk. Garnished with shreds of Thai basil and sprinkles of feta cheese. Yum!
