directions

Step 1

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; fry onion, yellow pepper and garlic, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add broth, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, salt, paprika and hot pepper flakes, if using; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are almost tender, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Add kale; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in half of the dill and the lemon juice.

Step 4

Meanwhile, arrange baguette slices in single layer on baking sheet; broil, watching closely, about 8 inches (20 cm) from heat until toasted, about 1 minute. Remove tray; turn slices over, and cover with cheese, trimming to fit on top of each baguette slice; return to oven and broil until bubbly, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Step 6

Ladle soup into bowls; top each with two or three pieces of cheese-topped baguette and sprinkle with remaining dill.
