It’s November 6th as I type this, and the U.S. election is weighing heavy on my heart. I can feel the collective disappointment and confusion, and like so many, I’m trying to make sense of it all. During times like these, I turn to my work for comfort and grounding. Creating food that soothes the soul feels like the best way I know to help us through challenging days. This Sweet Potato Chicken Soup is exactly that, warm, hearty, nourishing and reliable. I was inspired by my original vegan sweet potato curry soup but I wanted to revamp it and make it super protein-rich.
Ground chicken has taken center stage for this revamp and really created a hearty soup that can be enjoyed whenever you need something comforting and uplifting. It’s simple, wholesome, packed with flavour and chunky! I did not skimp on texture or flavor and I know you’re going to love it. All of this to say, you are not alone, food is my medicine and I hope you will take this bowl and it will bring you some solace and comfort in this confusing time. Food is the collective, it is the love language of the world and with it, we can start to understand one another a little more.
Heat olive oil and chili flakes in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onion, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cover with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the ground chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no pink remains.
Stir in curry powder and dried thyme, then add cubed sweet potatoes. Cover for 3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Pour in diced tomatoes and bone broth. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Partially cover with a lid and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Stir in butter beans and kale until combined. Grate in Parmigiano Reggiano, check for seasoning, and enjoy!
This chicken and sweet potato soup freezes well, making it ideal for meal prep. Allow the soup to cool completely, then transfer it to airtight containers or freezer bags. It’ll keep in the freezer for up to three months. When ready to serve, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stovetop.
This chicken sweet potato soup is hearty, warming, and incredibly satisfying. It’s packed with protein, thanks to the ground chicken and butter beans, and filled with fibre and vitamins from the sweet potatoes and kale. The soup is gluten-free, and the flavours are perfectly balanced with the addition of curry powder and thyme. It’s simple enough for weeknights yet delicious and comforting enough to make a big batch for cozy weekend meals.
