Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the kale and remove any tough stems.
- Dice the shallots.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Rinse the leek thoroughly to remove any grit and slice thinly.
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the coconut oil.
- Once the oil is melted and shimmering, add the shallots. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced leek to the pot. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften.

- Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon. Stir to evenly distribute the spices among the vegetables.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Stir to combine.
- Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the chopped kale and sweet corn kernels.
- Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes, until the kale is wilted and tender.
- Taste the chowder and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Ladle the chowder into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy!
Tips:
- To enhance the smokiness of the chowder, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika.
- If you prefer a thicker chowder, blend a portion of the chowder and mix it back in.
- Feel free to substitute kale with spinach or chard if preferred.
- Add a splash of coconut milk at the end for extra creaminess.
- Make sure to thoroughly rinse the leeks to remove any hidden grit or dirt.
