Saute onion & garlic in a pot with olive oil. Add remaining ingredients except kale. Bring to a boil. Turn down to simmer for 15 minutes. Add kale. Simmer for another 15 minutes.

Really yummy! I used tiny red lentils because that is what I had around. They really cooked down, and made the soup very creamy without cream. :) I also added 1tsp of cumin and a few dashes of cinnamon, because I love me some cumin. Very easy, very tasty! I will totally make this again. - 11/15/10

I didn't have enough vegetable soup so I added 2cups of apple cider - worked well. - 11/2/15

I thought this was fine with the amount of liquid that it called for, but I did add in an extra 2 cups because I wanted a looser soup. I also used different herbs (just red pepper flakes, cumin, sage, and a bit of lime juice) since I've been eating a lot of curry, but it was yummy and easy to make! - 2/2/12

I loved the sweet potatoes in it. I agree that there is not nearly enough liquid in the recipe. We added a lot of water. (I also used only 1 1/2 sweet potatoes because mine were huge.)

Really good though. I will definitely make it again. - 1/2/12
SCHWINNER!
This was really great! Hearty yet light. We had to add a LOT more broth (about 8-9 cups) though. I used not quite a whole bunch of kale, and made baked kale chips with the rest! Plenty of soup to last us all week! :) - 11/8/11

I'm making this right now. However, I did make some changes. I used 12 cups of water and one bouillon cube...not sure how 6 cups of liquid could cover everything...it's packed with 12 cups. I only needed 1 T of olive oil for the onions and garlic(used 4 cloves, sliced). It's smells great so far! - 1/31/11
