Instructions
  1. In large saucepan, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion, celery and carrot, salt and pepper. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  2. Pour in broth and bring to boil. Add sweet potato and reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook until sweet potatoes are tender and crisp, about 10 minutes. Stir in kale and cook 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly.
  3. Use a ladle to transfer soup to a blender in batches, processing until smooth. Repeat with remaining soup. Transfer back to saucepan and thin with water if desired.
  4. Serve warm sprinkled with wholegrain croutons.
