Garlicky Broth with Kale, Sweet Potatoes, and other Veggies
Passed along to my by my chiropractor’s assistant, this is a delicious soup and an easy way to get veggie with it. (I can’t leave a recipe alone, so I made some modifications...mostly by adding carrots and celery.)
2 ½ tsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
Carrots and celery (3ish of each)
3 ½ tsp dried Italian herbs
8 cups vegetable broth (I used home made chicken broth.)
2 cans cannellini beans, rinsed and dried
1 pound sweet potatoes, scrubbed and diced
4 ounces kale (I have no idea how much 4 ounces of kale is! I used one bunch.), tough stems removed and leaves coarsely chopped
12 medium garlic loves, minced
Salt and pepper to taste.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add oinion, carrot, celery and herbs. Sauté until onion is soft and golden (about 6 minutes).
Stir in broth, beans, sweet potatoes, and kale. Bring just to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add garlic. Simmer until sweet potatoes and greens are tender, 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
We may have added some Kielbasa as well. :)
