Soup seems an appropriate recipe for today as it is raining and windy outside. This soup is a favourite of adults and children alike as the chorizo adds a lovely smokey flavour and the carrots and sweet potatoes add a nice sweetness.
As with most soups you can make extra and either keep for a few days in the fridge or freeze to use another day. Make sure to freeze in individual portions as you will then be able to use it as needed.
I recommend using a stick blender when pureeing soup as there is no mess and you can puree it all at once.
