Curried Sweet Potato Soup w/ Kale & Savory Granola {gf}

29 Oct Curried Sweet Potato Soup w/ Kale & Savory Granola {gf}

Winter is approaching, and although that doesn’t mean much in LA, I know a lot of you in colder climates will dig this recipe for that cozy feel you crave when you’re stuck indoors!

My boyfriend Chris recently moved here from New Jersey, and I thought that it was hilarious that I was complaining of not being able to wear shorts to school this morning in 60F weather, and he was telling me it was like summer for him! Well, I guess this soup is more for me than him right now in this LA weather, but I could honestly go for some soup any time of the year, and with this recipe, well so could you 😉This is also a great recipe that you can add to your Thanksgiving menu {check out my gluten-free menu from last year!} or Christmas holiday get togethers! You could serve it in shot glass ‘shooters’ for the perfect finger food serving sizes, and the granola adds that snack factor a lot of people may crave at cocktail style parties. I decided to change things up a bit and try my hand a savory snack, and this ‘Cheesy’ Balsamic Savory Granola with Watermelon Seeds & Sun Dried Tomatoes (gluten-free) was a winner! I went all out in this recipe and included these two new ingredients that I thought would work well in a savory snack (and they did!), The Go Raw Super Simple Sprouted Flax Snax and Sprouted Watermelon Seeds. Not only is this great to just snack on, but it also paired well with this soup! Learn how to make it here.
