Healthy Sweet Potato and Kale Soup

Healthy Sweet Potato and Kale Soup

If you are looking for an easy and super healthy one pot meal this weekend, look no further!  This super delicious soup is ALSO loaded with tons of super powered veggies!  Sweet potato, kale, carrots, garlic and tomatoes...oh my!!!   I don’t know about you but I just love the idea of being able to chop everything up, add it to a pot and let it just do its magic for an hour or 2!  This deliciously healthy soup is SO comforting and has the added bonus of detoxing your body by restoring acid-alkaline and sodium-potassium balance to the body! 

My hubby really liked it but wanted some extra protein so he added his favorite grilled turkey sausage! That’s another cool thing about this recipe, you can keep it vegan or add protein!! Either way is delicious!

Tastes great, easy to make and it’s good for you!  Thats a win-win-win for sure!!  ENJOY!!
