Sweet Potato Cauliflower Soup with Za'atar
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
Za'atar is a typical North African spice blend of Syrian hyssop, sesame, thyme and sumac. The essential oils from the herbs and spices aid digestion and soothe the stomach. Sesame scores with all-around healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are important for the heart, blood vessels as well as the brain and inhibit inflammation.
Of course, the soup also works with orange or white sweet potatoes - the purple ones can be a rarity.
