Looking for a recipe to nourish your immune system? Or just a tasty soup recipe to add to your repertoire?  Here is a delicious sweet potato soup recipe that requires little prep and is packed with vitamins and minerals to keep your immune system functioning at tip top shape.  Beta carotene is the main immune boosting vitamin in this recipe, a precursor to vitamin A, which is commonly known as the anti-infection vitamin, because it is required for normal functioning of the immune system.

Bonus? Vitamin A is also critical for maintaining the integrity of your skin (all skin, inside and out!) – what does that mean? This soup is also a beauty food! Enjoy.
