Inspired by Caribbean callaloo, this tropical, coconut-milk-spiked soup can be mildly or wildly spicy, according to your taste. If you like it hot, add some or all of the jalapeño seeds or a splash of Tabasco sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. Cooking oil
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 jalapeño pepper
  • 3/4 lb. kale
  • 1 1/2 lb. sweet potatoes (about 3)
  • 1 1/2 qt. canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. canned unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 c. long-grain rice

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and jalapeño and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Stir in the kale, sweet potatoes, broth and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Add the coconut milk and just heat through.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Stir in the rice and boil until just done, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain. Put a mound of rice in the center of each bowl. Ladle the soup around the rice.
  4. Notes: Crinkly kale leaves are wonderfully sturdy and flavorful, making them especially well-suited to soups. Remove and discard the thick stems and then wash the leaves really well before adding them to a dish. The twists and turns of kale leaves are great places for dirt to hide.
  5. Wine Recommendation: Foods with a bit of sweetness invite some in the wine as well. Good choices would include an off-dry chenin blanc from California or a similarly off-dry riesling from Washington State.
