With winter on the way, we've officially entered what some call 'soup season' - the time when you may find yourself craving warming meals for lunch or dinner. Food influencer Gigi Grassia, who posts on Instagram as @gigi_goes_vegan, has shared a healthy 'immune-boosting' recipe for a delicious sweet potato and carrot soup. The dish is served alongside soba noodles and tempeh, although you can also opt for skipping these ingredients and just serving the soup itself.
