Kale is one of the best leafy greens out there, packed with nutrition and flavour. In fact, here are 12 reasons why you should get more kale in your diet. I tend to buy a lot of it when it’s in season (and cheap!) and once I’ve made kale chips, green smoothies and kale salad, it’s time to move on to soup.

Equipment

  • Large pan
  • Blender or Food Processor

Ingredients

  • Dash extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 onions finely diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or a sprig, if using fresh
  • 1 litre chicken stock find out how to make it here
  • 1 medium sweet potato peeled and finely diced
  • 400 g fresh kale
  • Sea salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Base: In a large pan, add the olive oil and onions. Fry over a medium heat for a few minutes until the onions start to soften.
  • Add Flavour: Before the onions start to colour, add in the garlic and thyme. Stir on the heat for 1-2 minutes.
  • Combine Ingredients: Slowly pour the chicken stock into the pan and add the diced sweet potatoes. Bring the pan to the boil, then reduce and allow to simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sweet potato starts to break down.
  • Incorporate Kale: Add the fresh kale and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the kale is cooked and soft.
  • Blend the Soup: Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blitz until smooth. You may need to do this in multiple batches depending on your blender's capacity.
  • Final Touches: Return the blended soup to the pan over the heat. Season as required, then serve.

Storage Tips:

This soup can be made ahead and will keep in the fridge for a day or so, ready to be reheated. Alternatively, make a big batch and store individual-sized portions in the freezer, ready to pull out on a day you don’t feel like cooking.
