Ingredients (serves 4):

- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Sour cream and fresh dill, for garnish

Cooking Tips:

- To save time, you can use pre-chopped kale and pre-minced garlic.
- For a creamier soup, you can blend half of the sweet potatoes with the broth before adding the kale.

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the diced sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, water, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
3. Add the chopped kale and simmer for another 5-10 minutes, or until the kale is wilted and tender.
4. Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream and some fresh dill.
