Sweet Potato Mexican Soup

This soup is something I could eat every single day and never tire of it. It’s hearty, flavourful and it certainly doesn’t hurt that it’s made from wholesome ingredients! Let me know if you make a batch and don’t be afraid to store some in the freezer for those nights you can’t be bothered cooking
