Smoky Sweet Potato, Kale, & White Bean Soup

My mother-in-law made a version of this soup the day before we came back to Chicago.  I mixed it up a bit with a less clear broth and a bit of smoky seasoning.  Enjoy.

Ingredients:

1 large sweet potato (cubed)
2 boxes of Trader Joe's Vegetable Broth (this brand has a bit of tomato in the broth)
3 cups of chopped fresh kale
1 can of Great Northern Beans (drained)
1 small onion chopped
1 garlic clove minced
1-2 tablespoons of olive oil
salt & pepper (to taste)
Trader Joe's South African Smoke Seasoning Blend (to taste)

Directions:

In a dutch oven saute onions and garlic in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil.  Add kale and let cook until the kale has reduced and wilted. Add the broth, the chopped potato and the beans.  Salt and pepper and add a few twists of the African Smoke.  Let cook until the soup reduces and thickens a bit.
