Sweet Potato, Carrot, and Ginger Soup

There’s nothing like coming home in the evening on a cool fall day and warming up with a big bowl of hearty soup. The carrots and sweet potatoes are roasted in the oven beforehand to give them a bold and rounded flavor. Ginger gives every spoonful an extra zing and a touch of cayenne pepper adds just enough spiciness to help keep you warm.
