Spending hours cooking elaborate meals each night isn’t always feasible when most of us lead pretty busy lives. Instead of gobbling up rounds of toast when you get in from a long day, why not make a pot of this soup and freeze it in portions, so you always have something nutritious to feast on?

Sweet potatoes make up the bulk of this dish and they contain both soluble and insoluble fibres, which work together to improve gut health, reduce blood sugar levels and keep you feeling fuller for longer. This makes it a great soup to take to work and reheat in the microwave to avoid those mid-afternoon hunger pangs.

Coconut milk adds a delicious creamy texture (and keeps the dish vegan) and provides a big boost of potassium, magnesium and manganese, which aid hydration, nerve function and tissue recovery.

This soup doesn’t even need to be defrosted before reheating – simply plop it in the pan with a little water and break it up as it warms.
