African Kale and Yam Soup

from Happyherbivore.com

Ingredients:

1 tsp garlic powder ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional) 1 tsp mild curry powder 1 tbsp yellow miso paste ¼ tsp cinnamon

1 whole red onion, small
2 cups vegetable broth
1 whole yam, diced
5 cups kale, chopped
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin

 

Instructions:

Line a medium pot with 1/4 cup of water and cook onions over high heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add broth, yam, 3/4 cup water (or extra broth) and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to medium and cook until potatoes are almost fork tender, about 3 minutes. Immediately add kale and remaining ingredients and cook, stirring frequently, until kale is dark green and soft, about 3 more minutes. Set aside for 5-10 minutes, allowing flavors to merge.
