Carrot Sweet Potato Soup with Cannellini Beans - Vegetarian , Fall Recipe, Soups, Thanksgiving - Cooking Curries

The contrast of a hot bowl of soup with the crisp chill autumn weather is something to be experienced. It makes that bowl of soup more desirable, a little bit more warm in feeling and a whole lot tastier. It simply does wonders to your taste buds. All these senses get more pronounced when you add some extra warmth with some spices. Ever wondered why cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger are a huge part of fall cooking? That is why. The power of spices is undeniable and the best way to enjoy them is to just let go and let them take you into their world of warmth and fragrance.

This  Carrot Sweet Potato Soup with Cannellini Beans has a contrast in itself. It is the sweetness of the carrots, sweet potatoes and cream and the little warmth that the nutmeg lends to it. The cannellini beans are to make it filling and to add some extra creamy mouthful feeling to the body of the soup. I love all fall soups, precisely for this reason. The sweetness that is generally found in fall vegetables balances so well with the spices used in the season. When you explore more, you cant help but wonder that some recipes exist in a season for a reason.
