Dear dietbet friend- You have been selected because you have inspired/ encouraged/ liked a post/ or in some way helped me and I thank you for that! Now I hope we can help each other-- I am starting a dietbet called Forget the Fudge ( http://diet.bt/in8Zw ), and people are needed!! My friends outside dietbet are, for a multitude of reasons/excuses, not joining, so I am appealing to you, my DB ppl who have helped me get down about 60#. I still have about 15# to go. Can you help and finish off 2014 better than you started?
Anna E.

Here it is, Kara:
This is a REALLY tasty soup - although, I would put 1/4 tsp of pepper instead of a 1/2.
Kale and Sweet Potato Soup
Naturally creamy sweet potatoes are the perfect base for this hearty fall soup. Nutritious kale adds a slight bitterness that perfectly balances the sweet potato.
1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
1 cup (250 mL) chopped sweet onion
1 cup (250 mL) chopped celery
1 cup (250 mL) chopped carrots
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and freshly cracked pepper
4 cups (1 L) low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
6 cups (1.5 L) peeled, cubed sweet potatoes
4 cups (1 L) chopped kale
In large saucepan, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion, celery and carrot, salt and pepper. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in broth and bring to boil. Add sweet potato and reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook until sweet potatoes are tender and crisp, about 10 minutes. Stir in kale and cook 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly.
Use a ladle to transfer soup to a blender in bat
