Chicken Sweet Potato and Kale Soup
This hearty soup – loaded with chicken, kale, sweet potatoes and veggies, will warm your bones on this cold winter we are having! And the leftovers are perfect for heating up for lunch the next day and can also be frozen for another night.
I’m not a fan of sweet potatoes unless they are savory, so I loved them in this soup! There’s no grains in here, but a large bowl is very satisfying. The jalapeño adds the perfect flavor, and just a trace of heat. Of course if you like your food spicy, you could add more! This is naturally gluten-free, Paleo, Whole 30 compliant and a great One-Pot meal. Here’s a few more Soup Recipes you may also enjoy!
