The absolute favourite is Carrot and Sweetpotato soup.  Very easy to make and a great way to get your children  to eat vegetables. Both carrots and sweet potato are as the name suggests sweet. So this is a great soup to get your children to try soups and something new.  You can also add normal    potatos or pumpkin. so you have one basic soup that can become many different types.
