Gluten-Free Kale and Almond Sweet Potato Soup

gluten-free kale soup

I've been talking about this soup for quite some time now. And many of you have inquired about it.

So, here it is. My latest creation. A soup that can be enjoyed anytime of the day, anytime of the year.

It all started with a simple grocery shoppin' trip to Zabars here in Manhattan where I came across the most beautiful Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes. I picked 'em up, tossed 'em into my basket and scurried home with a soup recipe brewing in my mind.

Full of heart healthy fiber, vitamins n' minerals...this baby is sure to have your taste buds smilin' in no time.

Enjoy!

Gluten-Free Kale and Almond Sweet Potato Soup
Serves 2

2 large sweet potatoes
1 cup Brussels Sprouts
2 cups fresh kale, roughly chopped
1/3 cup almonds
1/2 cup Greek plain yogurt
1/2 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
1 tsp. agave nectar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/6 tsp. sea salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Puncture holes in sweet potatoes using a fork. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet; bake for 20 minutes or until very tender.
Meanwhile, steam kale and Brussels Sprouts on the stove top in a medium sized pot, covered. Drain; set aside to cool.
Remove from oven; set aside to cool.
Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch pieces. Add to a food processor along with all other ingredients; pulse until smooth.
Transfer to serving bowls.
Serve at room temperature or chilled.
