A Cozy, Nourishing Fall Favorite
There’s something so special about cozy fall meals that warm both the heart and the body — and this Sweet Potato, Kale & White Bean Soup is exactly that. 🍂 Using the last of my kale and thyme from the garden, this recipe brings together the beautiful flavors of fall in one wholesome, comforting bowl.
It’s creamy (without a drop of dairy!), hearty, and filled with simple ingredients that work together to nourish your body — the way God designed it to heal and thrive. 🌿
One thing I really love about this soup is that it’s better and gentler on your gut, while still being filling and satisfying. It’s perfect if you’re trying to keep your weight healthy or simply want to eat in a way that supports digestion and balance.
This soup makes the perfect weeknight meal or meal prep recipe, especially on crisp fall evenings. The coconut-based broth adds creaminess and depth, while the sweet potatoes, kale, and white beans provide lasting nourishment and natural flavor harmony.
🌿 Ingredients That Nourish
Each ingredient in this recipe was chosen with both flavor and function in mind:
✨ Sweet Potatoes – Rich in beta-carotene and vitamin A, they support your immune system, skin health, and provide a naturally sweet flavor.
✨ Kale – A powerhouse of antioxidants, vitamins K, C, and calcium — helping balance hormones and support detoxification.
✨ Cannellini Beans – A wonderful source of plant-based protein and fiber to keep you full, satisfied, and balanced.
✨ Garlic & Onion – Natural immune boosters that support gut health, digestion, and reduce inflammation.
✨ Thyme & Paprika – Add warmth and depth to this dish. I often use smoked paprika for a slightly smoky flavor, but even regular paprika tastes amazing and adds the perfect cozy touch.
✨ Coconut Milk – Creates a creamy, satisfying texture while adding healthy fats to support hormones and brain function.
✨ Nutritional Yeast – Gives a rich, cheesy flavor while supplying energizing B-vitamins.
✨ Celtic Sea Salt & Lime Juice – Help replenish minerals and brighten the flavors beautifully.
Together, these simple, real-food ingredients create a meal that’s not only delicious but deeply nourishing — supporting your gut, hormones, and overall vitality.

💛 A Note from My Kitchen
When I make this soup, it’s a beautiful reminder of the way God provides — from the garden to the table. Using the last of the kale and thyme feels like closing out the growing season with gratitude. Each spoonful is a taste of His goodness and the nourishment He placed in real, whole foods.
As you enjoy this recipe, take a moment to slow down, breathe, and give thanks for the simple blessings around your table. ✨
