Here is a simple soup recipe to get you through those cold winter evenings. It uses one of our favorite gluten-free carbohydrates, the Sweet Potato. One Sweet potato can provide over 400% of our daily needs for Vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene. They are also an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium, vitamin b6, copper, manganese and fiber. This soup calls for boiling sweet potatoes, as boiling preserves more of its cancer-fighting properties than roasting.
