Is it wrong to have such strong feelings for a cozy, fall-inspired soup? Call us crazy, but these steamy bowls are exactly are exactly what you want on a chilly autumn evening. Sweet potato and kale soup is a cozy, healthy, and hardy meal option that is 100% vegan and easy to make. Not only will it please your palate, but it will also keep your belly full without weighing you down.

This soup is packed with a healthy dose of nutrients, including carotenoids, fiber, protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. The onions, garlic, bell pepper, and celery provide the base flavor for the soup, but the real flavor comes from the fresh herbs and seasonings. Obviously you get the sweetness from the sweet potato and nuttiness from chickpeas. Don’t worry about the kale imparting a bitter flavor because it takes on the flavor of the broth once it softens.

There is one thing to note when you add the kale to the soup. Make sure that you don’t add the kale until the last five minutes of the cooking process. If you add it while the potatoes are still boiling, the kale will become overly soggy. Once you finish cooking the soup, ladle it into bowls and top with a healthy sprinkle or crack of black pepper. The soup is hardy enough to enjoy on its own, but a crisp slice of bread would be a lovely treat to accompany it. Think about it and let us know!
