Thai Curry Soup with Sweet Potatoes and Kale
BySarah Axtell, ND •December 6, 2023
Thai curries are one of my favorite foods. This recipe combines all the nourishing and comforting flavors of a Thai curry (coconut milk and spices) AND super-foods like bone broth, sweet potato, kale, ginger, and turmeric. And it’s one of the easiest soups you’ll make.
The recipe starts with bringing together bone broth, sweet potatoes, carrots, red curry paste, and spices. Coconut milk adds a lovely creaminess and a subtle coconut flavor. Kale is sauteed with lime juice for a pop of freshness.
I love how the sweet potato and kale marry perfectly together to create a sweet and earthy flavor all in one pot.
