The heartiest of hearty soups, that’s exactly what this curried sweet potato soup is. This thick vegan soup is bulked up with white beans and kale and spiced with Thai red curry, cumin and ginger. It’s a creamy soup that’s vibrant and cozy, and just the right thing to turn to for keeping the family warm and satisfied. 

This hearty soup is easy and healthy, and you probably have all of the ingredients in your pantry. 

The ingredients in this soup:

• avocado oil, cumin, garlic, ginger, shallot and leek are the base of the soup, and adds lots of flavour. 
• thai curry paste adds an extra layer of flavour and heat. 
• sweet potatoes are the bulk in the soup. They add a slight sweetness. 
• vegetable stock – use a really good, low sodium stock. 
• tomato paste will bring it all together 
• coconut milk brings the creaminess. 
• white beans – I like cannellini beans as they are naturally creamy, and add heartiness. 
• kale adds freshness and nutritional value. 

Tip: for a thicker creamier soup, blend together most of the soup, but be sure to leave some veggies intact for texture. Add the beans and kale after blending.
