Sweet Potato and Red Lentil Soup
This quick and easy soup is perfect for winter. It is packed full of antioxidants, fibre and protein. It is warming and filling - perfect for those cold days. Our toddler loves it as much as our 8 & 10yr old boys. It contains antioxidants, fibre and protein. You can also dollop a spoonful of natural yogurt on top.
