Directions
- Rinse the fresh produce and prepare it for cooking.
- Mince the ginger and garlic; finely dice the onion.
- Chop the jalapeño, removing seeds if you prefer less heat. Set aside.
- Warm a large pot over medium heat and add a little oil to coat the bottom.
- Add the ginger, garlic, onion, and jalapeño; sauté until the aromatics soften, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Dice the sweet potato into about 1/2-inch pieces, and drain and rinse the black beans.
- Add the sweet potato, beans, broth, diced tomatoes with their juices, pumpkin purée, and coconut milk to the pot; stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the sweet potato is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Stems from the cilantro, mince the leaves, and set aside.
- Roughly chop the kale and stir it into the soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Finish with a squeeze of lime and give the pot a final stir before serving, garnishing with cilantro.
Two tips
- Make-ahead: prep the cilantro and kale in advance and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Serve with a squeeze of lime and extra chopped jalapeño on the side for added brightness or heat.
