Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup
Healthy, because

Nutritional values
This soup is packed with beta-carotenes from the carrots, a powerful antioxidant which helps protect the body's cells against free radical damage. The sweet potatoes contain additional antioxidants, as well as satiating fiber.
Use coconut oil instead of butter to create a subtle coconut flavour.
