Red pepper and sweet potato soup
A must try. Nourishing and comforting. One of my friends tried it and made it three days in a row true story.
The natural sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes blends beautifully with the smoky depth of red peppers, creating a velvety vibrant bowl that tastes as good as it looks.
It is simple to make, budget friendly, and easily adaptable. A cold weather favourite in my kitchen.
This is exactly the kind of simple nourishing meal I often recommend to clients looking to improve their energy, digestion, and overall wellbeing. As a health coach and nutrition consultant, I always focus on meals that are realistic, repeatable, and supportive of long term health.
A tasty soup packed with wholesome ingredients
Serves 2-4
Ingredients
1 red onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 red peppers, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 sweet potato
1L (4 cups) vegetable stock
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation
In a large saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic in 1 tbsp olive oil for 5-10 minutes, or until the onion has softened.
Add the peppers, carrots and sweet potato. Cook for 5 minutes on medium heat, then add vegetable stock.
Simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked through.
Use a hand blender and blend into a smooth soup.
Nutrition Tip
When buying peppers, choose the ones with the deepest colour you can find. The darker they are, the higher the concentration of antioxidant flavonoids, which support cellular health and help reduce inflammation.
Meals like this are often recommended within a holistic health coach approach, where the focus is on supporting the body through whole foods rather than restriction.
How this fits into a balanced lifestyle
If you are trying to improve your health, energy, or relationship with food, meals like this form the foundation of sustainable change.
Within health and wellness coaching, the goal is to build habits that actually fit into real life, rather than following strict plans that are difficult to maintain.
