Leek and sweet potato soup is a creamy and delicious soup which is comforting during winter season. It can be even used as a detox recipe as sweet potatoes are very healthy and a very good vegetable for detoxifying the body. It helps removing harmful heavy metals like mercury and lead from the body which affect metabolism adversely if not removed.

Leek contains lot of water and it is mildly diuretic meaning it helps removing toxins from the body.

I usually make Leek and potato soup but to make it healthier, I have used sweet potatoes instead of potatoes and it tasted delicious. It is a fulfilling and delicious detox recipe.
