Sweet Potato, Kale, and Sausage Soup. This stuff is GOOD.

TG and I decided it was time to kick back with some scotch and make something with kale in it.  Being on a soup kick lately, this is what we went with, based on this recipe at joythbaker's blog.

Dice an onion (or two), saute in olive oil in a large soup pot
Finely chop ginger and garlic, to taste.  Our test runs to quite a bit of both.
Add the above to the soup pot, along with some turmeric (guessing around a teaspoon) and a pinch of red pepper flakes.  Stir and cook for a couple minutes.
Add two peeled and chopped medium sweet potatoes, give them a good stir to get coated in spices and such. 
Add 2 quarts chicken broth.
Turn up the heat to bring it to a simmer.
Add a bunch of kale and half a bunch of collard greens, leaves torn and stalks removed.
Add a package of pre-cooked sausage.  (We used mild italian chicken sausages.)
Let it simmer for like 20 minutes or so, until the sweet potatoes are cooked through.  We actually let it boil away for like 30 b/c we get careless sometimes.
Add a can of coconut milk, let it heat through.
Salt and pepper, to taste.

Soooooo good.
Scooter and TG
