Have this wholesome soup with warm sourdough garlic toasts or combine it with vegetable stuffed moong dal chilas, or Indian pancakes, to make it a complete meal. I personally love to add some parmesan crisps to it, as it adds the crunch and saltiness to the soup. If you want to add an Indian twist to the soup, I recommend using freshly ground cumin powder as seasoning.

Sweet potatoes, the main ingredient of this soup, contain a high concentration of choline, a very versatile nutrient. One of the main benefits of choline is that it reduces inflammatory responses in the body resulting in less inflammation. Also, rich in antioxidants, sweet potatoes aid in reducing inflammation in our body. In the long run, it prevents diseases and boosts heart health. Antioxidants also fight free radicals in the body, which are linked to multiple lifestyle illnesses including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

The fibre and antioxidants combined present in the sweet potatoes help in promoting healthy gut bacteria. Soluble fibre turns to gel during digestion by retaining water. It slows digestion and nutrient absorption from the stomach and intestine. This efficiently decreases the risk of gut-related health issues.
