SLOW-COOKER CURRIED SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH COCONUT AND KALE
This creamy Thai-inspired soup is all about balance: When the contrasting flavors are in harmony, it is outrageously delicious. (It is also vegan if there's no fish or shrimp in your curry paste.) Supermarket curry pastes are a great shortcut to flavor for weeknights, but salt and spice levels can vary greatly among brands. So taste at the end, and adjust: You may need to add curry paste, sugar or lime juice to your liking. Chile-lime flavored peanuts, available at some grocery stores, are particularly good for topping - snap them up if you happen to see them. Otherwise, roasted salted peanuts will work beautifully.

VEGAN BLACK BEAN AND SWEET POTATO SOUP
This hearty vegan soup conjures up the flavors of Spain in a bowl. The smoked paprika (aka pimenton) gives it a deep savory taste that anyone -- even your favorite omnivore -- will enjoy. We like water as the base of this soup because it lets the flavors of the vegetables shine through. While it's optional, the drizzle of sherry vinegar at the end adds a brightness that takes this dish to the next level.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes.
- Make a space in the middle of the pot and add the tomato paste, garlic, smoked paprika and coriander. Cook this mixture in that spot, stirring, until the tomato paste darkens a shade or two, about 1 minute, then stir into the vegetables. Add 12 cups water and the bay leaves. Bring to a rapid simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced slightly, about 15 minutes.
- Add the sweet potatoes and black beans. Continue to simmer rapidly until the vegetables are very tender and the soup is thick and flavorful. 20 to 30 minutes more. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Stir in the parsley. Season with additional salt, as needed. Ladle into soup bowls and serve with a drizzle of olive oil and 3 to 4 drops of sherry vinegar per bowl if using.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a skillet and saute onion and garlic in oil until soft.
- Add all ingredients to crockpot and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until sweet potatoes are tender.
- Serve hot with sour cream and lime if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Roast the sweet potatoes before adding them to the soup: Roasting the sweet potatoes brings out their natural sweetness and gives the soup a richer flavor.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the soup: The sweet potatoes should be tender but not mushy. Overcooking the soup will make it bland and watery.
- Add some spice: A little bit of spice can help to balance out the sweetness of the sweet potatoes. Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper, cumin, or paprika to the soup.
- Garnish the soup with something green: A few chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or chives, will add a pop of color and freshness to the soup.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and vibrant color, sweet potato soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
