Kale and Sweet Potato Soup
Velvety smooth and rich in texture, this soup will deceive you – all that flavour and not an ounce of cream! Naturally sweet and creamy sweet potatoes are the perfect base for this hearty fall soup. Nutritious kale adds a slight bitterness that perfectly balances the sweet potato.
Ingredients
| 1/2 tsp | olive oil | 2 mL |
| 6 cups | chopped Southern U.S. sweet onion | 1.5 L |
| 4 cups | chopped Southern U.S. celery | 1 L |
| 1 cup | Chopped Southern U.S. carrots | 250 mL |
| 1 cup | each salt and fresh cracked pepper | 250 mL |
| 1 cup | low sodium vegetable or chicken broth | 1 L |
| 4 cups | peeled, cubed Southern U.S. sweet potatoes | 250 mL |
| 1 tbsp | chopped kale | 15 mL |
| 1 tbsp | chopped Southern U.S. kale | 15 mL |
Directions
In large saucepan, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion, celery and carrot, salt and pepper. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in broth and bring to boil. Add sweet potato and reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook until sweet potatoes are tender and crisp, about 10 minutes. Stir in kale and cook 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly.
Use a ladle to transfer soup to a blender in batches, processing until smooth. Repeat with remaining soup. Transfer back to saucepan and thin with water if desired.
Serve warm sprinkled with wholegrain croutons.
Makes 6 servings.
