Kale and Sweet Potato Soup

[Duer 157099]

I don't remember how I found this link exactly, except that it originated from somewhere in this forum.

I made this the other night and it was really easy and good. I added a 2nd jalapeno just to kick it up more, and I pureed the leftovers and actually liked it much better as a creamy soup.

Kale and sweet potatoes, lots of vitamins in that combo!

1. I am definitely trying this. Any soup with coconut milk is OK in my book!

:hi:

4. Me too, I'm a coconut fiend

I think I'd fare well on Survivor. Well, as long as it's on a tropical island that is.

2. Going shopping tomorrow

Kale and sweet potatoes are now on my list.

Thanks! This looks like a real winner.

3. Don't forget the coconut milk

That's a big player. I used the Trader Joe's brand, the Lite version and used the whole can.

Mmmmm!

5. Oh, shoot, I've got plenty of that

My cupboard is well stocked except for perishables.
