Pumpkin and sweet potato are both excellent sources of beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is important for maintaining healthy vision, immune function, and skin health. Additionally, these vegetables are rich in vitamin C, which supports immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant-based foods.
This soup is also a great source of fiber, which promotes digestive health, and antioxidants, which protect against cellular damage and inflammation. Plus, the addition of warming spices like ginger and cinnamon not only adds flavor but also offer additional health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.
