Sweet Potato and Kale Soup
December 13, 2017
This soup is delicious and really warms the tummy on a cold winter day. It’s a great dose of Vitamin A and lutein (an antioxidant) and other nutrients! The recipe calls for pureeing the soup, but it is just as delicious when it isn’t pureed. My trip to the Azores, Portugal inspired me to cook more with Bay leaves. They use Bay leaves in a lot of their dishes.

Just made this soup and it turned out great! Super-tasty, hearty with the lentils, PLUS it makes a nice big batch, so we can enjoy it for at least 2 meals! Great use for kale, too. Thanks!
I served this soup for guests at a dinner I was hosting and everyone loved it. It was a great, hearty soup and easy to prepare.
