My vegetables are talking to me. Again.
Tonight, they said: make me into a soup to warm up to this cool, blustery day.
This time it was a big ole yam and a pile of baby kale talking.
I peeled and chunked the yam, covered with water and microwaved until almost done.
Peeled and sliced a small onion and 3 cloves of garlic, then sauteed those in olive oil.
Added the yam chunks to the pot, along with about a cup of the water they were cooked in, as well as 1-1/2 cups of turkey broth from Thanksgiving.
Shredded about 4 cups of the baby kale and added that to the pot, along with 2/3 can of coconut milk.
Seasoned with black pepper, cayenne (just a pinch), salt, cumin. Simmered until the kale was soft.
Served the resulting soup with chopped tomatoes and Christopher Sy City bread. Sorry, no photos.
How would I make this better? Maybe some nutty garbanzo beans.
