Chicken, Kale and Sweet Potato Soup



It's Fall Ya'll!  My crockpot if my Fall and Winter BFF and we've been separated for far too long!  These crisp cool mornings have made me soooo hungry for a pot of homemade soup!  I found this idea on the weather forecast and I couldn't believe how easy and simple it was!  I'm a working lady and things with few ingredients that required extremely little effort beckon to me!  This soup is light and delicious - it won't weight you down or make you feel like you ate too much.  This was 100%  a winner for me and I hope you love it too!

 You'll need:

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts - I did six thin cut

8 oz kale

8 small sweet potatoes

2 packets Dry Knorr Vegetable Mix 

Mix the veggie mix packets with 8 cups water and microwave or simmer for 10 minutes.  Remove and let cool while you get your veggies ready.

My kale was already chopped so all I had to do was watch the pieces for the heavy center stem and remove those.  That stem will make your soup too bitter.

Peel and dice sweet potatoes into small bite size pieces.

That's all the prep there is!

Add your chicken breasts to the bottom of your crockpot, then add the sweet potatoes and the kale.  Add your soup mix plus enough water to fill your crockpot.  I think it's about 5 cups or so additional water.

Set the crockpot for high for 4 hours and walk away!  Come back when your time is done and remove your chicken breasts (use tongs and they may fall apart on you). Shred your chicken with two forks and return it to the pot and let things sit for an hour on warm.  

That's IT!  Serve this light and delicious soup with a slice of buttery garlic bread and your fall dinner will be fabulous!  Ya'll enjoy!
