This Sweet Potato Kale Soup is easy, cozy, and healthy! These steamy bowls of vegetables, chickpeas, and flavorful broth won’t last long at your table.
Is it wrong to say that Sweet Potato & Kale is like my new PB&J? Call me crazy, but I’mpretty dang sure I could eat some combination of the two every day for the rest of my life.
Whether we’re on the same page or not, this Sweet Potato & Kale Soup is a cozy, healthy, and hearty meal option that anyone can enjoy. It’s made fromsimple and wholesome ingredients and will keep yourbellyfull and happy — without weighing you down.
Like most (good) soups, this Sweet Potato Kale version is packed with veggies, spices, and even some plant-based protein to make a complete meal! First we’ll start by sauteéing some Onions, Garlic, Red Pepper, and Celery to get some base flavor. Toss in some dried Rosemary & Thyme for some heartiness, then in go our spuds!
We’ll steam the Sweet Potatoes for a few minutes before adding in our Chickpeas and Vegetable Broth – this helps them to get even more tender, juicy, and flavorful. Bring everything to a simmer, and that’s pretty much it! I like to add my Kalejust at the end of the cook time – that was it still keeps its flavor, and doesn’t become overly soggy.
Finally, ladle your soup into bowls and top it off with a good crack of Black Pepper. This soup is hearty enough to enjoy alone, but it would also be great with a slice of crusty bread….or perhaps even some Avocado Toast? Maybe that’s the millennial in me talking 😉
However you choose to serve it, this Sweet Potato & Kale Soup iseasy,delicious, and perfect forcozy days. It makes a pretty big batch, but you can easily double or even triple the recipe for friends and family. Even though it’s packed with fiber and healthy veggies, it’s just as warming and satisfying as any other indulgent soup out there.
I like my soups to be pretty “thick”, but if you like yours a bit runnier, feel free to add in some extra Water or Vegetable Broth while it’s simmering!
A Few Final Thoughts:
- Soup is always very adaptable — feel free to use whatever odds and ends you have in your pantry! Add in extra veggies, switch up the beans, or even add in some pasta if you’re feelin’ fancy.
- This soup is great for Meal Prep and reheats well! However, I would advise against freezing it; Sweet Potatoes get kind of weird after frozen + thawed.
- I used dried Rosemary & Thyme for this recipe, but if you have fresh, even better!
