Start with the Sweet Potato and Onion:

  • In a large pot, heat grapeseed oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add sweet potato and sauté, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the onion and continue sautéing for about 8 more minutes.
  • Add a splash of chicken broth to help steam the sweet potato and onion (it should sizzle when it hits the pot).
  • Continue cooking until the sweet potato is softened but still slightly firm, about 5 more minutes.

Build the Soup Base:

  • Pour in the remaining chicken broth and white wine.
  • Add the cannellini beans, oregano, and thyme. Stir everything well.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Cover and let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes.

Add the Kale:

  • Stir in the chopped kale leaves, cover, and cook for another 5 minutes or until the kale is softened.

Season and Serve:

  • Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and ground black pepper as needed.
