Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- 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.
2. Begin the Flavor Base:
- 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.
3. Add Garlic and Leek:
- Add the minced garlic and sliced leek to the pot. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften.
4. Incorporate Sweet Potatoes:
- Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pot, stirring to coat them in the aromatic mixture.
5. Season and Spice:
- Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon. Stir to evenly distribute the spices among the vegetables.
6. Simmer the Chowder:
- 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.
7. Add the Kale and Corn:
- Stir in the chopped kale and sweet corn kernels.
- Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes, until the kale is wilted and tender.
8. Adjust Seasoning & Serve:
- 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.

There you have it, a wholesome and flavorful Sweet Potato, Kale, and Corn Chowder ready to serve! This rich and satisfying chowder is sure to warm you up from the inside out. Enjoy it with crusty bread or as a standalone meal, and relish in the comforting flavors of this nourishing dish.
