Watercress and sweet potato soup

This is soup is so easy to make with very few basic ingredients, but tastes amazing and full of flavour and is brimming with goodness.

There's lots of variations of this online but I simplified my version and it was a winner.

The sweetness of the potato makes this a favourite with all the family young and old.

This is Ideal after being out on a cold run and the Watercress is great in aiding  recovery.
