A warm and comforting winter soup with sweet potato glass noodles is a great cold weather entree. Ginger will boost your immune system, and the sweet potato glass noodles are a wonderful gluten free option. These are available at Korean markets or online, but if you can’t find them, just substitute rice vermicelli commonly available in grocery stores!
