Vegan Sweet Potato and Kale Soup Recipe
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 large carrot, peeled and diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
6 cups vegetable broth
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups kale, stems removed and chopped
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
Juice of 1 lime
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions:
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add diced sweet potatoes, diced carrot, diced celery, ground cumin, smoked paprika, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Stir in chopped kale and simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the kale is wilted.
Use an immersion blender to puree a portion of the soup, leaving some chunks for texture. Alternatively, transfer a portion of the soup to a blender and blend until smooth before returning it to the pot.
Stir in coconut milk and lime juice. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Non-Vegan Alternative:
For a non-vegan version, you can add 1/2 cup of heavy cream or half-and-half during step 5. Additionally, you can use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth for a non-vegan option.
