I love soups, and with the never-ending supply of kale from my garden, this is one of my favorites. I make a large batch, and freeze in individual serving containers. An easy quick lunch or dinner!
- Sweet Potato and Greens Soup
1 large sweet onion, diced
3 large sweet potatoes, diced
4-6 cups of greens, shredded (kale, chard, spinach, etc)
1Tbs turmeric, 1Tbs cumin, salt and pepper to taste
Water, vegetable broth or chicken stock - amount depending on how thick or thin you like your soup.
Saute the onion in ghee (clarified butter) until soft and translucent. Add the spices and saute for another 30-60 seconds.
Add the sweet potato and cover with water, vegetable broth, or stock; simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes, until soft. Add more liquid for a thinner soup.
Add the greens (firmer more fibrous greens like kale first - they will take longer to cook) and simmer for another 10-15 minutes until all tender.
Cool and blend well in blender or food processor.
Serve with greek yogurt, some lemon juice, mint and my favorite side dish - sweet potato chips!
