Turkey Sweet Potato Soup

/

Hello and Happy New Year!

This soup has been feeling nourishing and supportive to our family lately.

It’s simple to make and you can put it into a slow cooker as well.


TURKEY SWEET POTATO SOUP

You will need:

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 lb ground turkey

  • 1 medium-sized sweet potato, choppe​d​

  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated

  • 2 tsp curry powder

  • ¾ tsp sea salt, to taste

  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk

  • 3 cups chicken broth

  • ​1 cup kale, chopped​

  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice or lime juice


Heat the oil in a large thick-bottomed pot (I use my Dutch oven) over medium-high heat and add the​garlic and ground turkey meat.

Allow the turkey to brown for 2 to 3 minutes before flipping it to the other side and allowing it to brown another 1 to 2 minutes. Use a spatula to break up the turkey meat into bite-sized pieces.

Add the chopped sweet potato, fresh ginger, ​curry powder​, and sea salt, and stir well.


Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth and add the ​kale​. Cover the pot and bring the soup to a full boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the soup to simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sweet potato has softened and is cooked through.


Stir in the lime juice and continue cooking, uncovered for ​2 more minutes. Taste the soup for flavor and add more sea salt and/or lime juice to taste.


​Yum!​
