Sweet Potato Kale Bisque

Soup Season

I love soup. Especially in Autumn and Winter. It seems as though soup season is finally (really) here. Baltimore weather is so weird — yesterday it was high 70’s and muggy, and today it’s low 60’s and crisp and windy. I love it. I think there’s even a frost warning this weekend. Hearty soup recipes are great to make into meals with the addition of crusty bread, a good salad, or a fried egg on top. So many options and combinations.

Dairy Free Creamy Soup

This Kale Potato Soup is so hearty and creamy that, if I hadn’t made it myself, I would have guessed it had lots of cream and butter in it. Not so, my friends! It’s dairy free. (Side note — I am not against butter or cream. They both have their places. But sometimes I want to lighten up on dairy. Other times I want to pair a soup with a heavier side and it’s nice to balance things out.)

Use Sweet or Regular Potatoes

I used sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes, and I loved it. It gave it a delicious sweetness that was not over the top. I’d like to try with regular potatoes too and maybe add some bacon as a garnish. This recipe was inspired by one I found in Simply in Season, which is a favorite cookbook of mine.

What is Your Favorite?

Do you have a favorite autumn/winter meal? Please share it in the comments below. Here are a few of mine:

  • Butternut Bisque: The toppings make the soup! While this soup is lovely on its own, I like to go crazy with toppings: yogurt, bacon, hard-boiled egg, and pesto.
  • Perfect Black Beans: Although I eat beans year round, I find them especially comforting and cozy during the cooler months. This recipe soaks the beans first, then cooks them with added sautéed onions and jalapenos.
  • Winter Cobb Salad: Salads for lunch is the norm for me, and this winter cobb salad features seasonal ingredients with deep flavors by using beets, blue cheese, and walnuts.

I hope you enjoy this soup! Let me know if you give it a try. Until next time,

Rebekah

    Mmm what a delightful color for that soup! One of my favorite combos is kale, white beans, and sweet potatoes in a soup. Yum.

    Yes, I love the color. It makes me think of something silly, like Green Eggs and Ham. It's just not often I get to have green soup. I love white beans and kale too — there's a good recipe for Rosemary Kale Soup on my blog that I love. My sister makes it often, and the last time she made it she forgot it was simmering and went for a run. When she got back, it had simmered away to concentrated bliss. She said it was almost as good as chocolate!
