Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 4 medium sized russet potatoes
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 5 cups kale
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Peel and dice the yellow onion, then add it to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pot. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks. Add the potatoes to the pot and stir to coat them in the oil.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, wash and tear the kale into bite-sized pieces, removing any tough stems.
Once the potatoes are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup slightly, leaving some chunks for texture. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer half of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Add the kale to the pot and stir. Simmer for another 5 minutes or until the kale is wilted and tender.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Serve hot with crusty bread or croutons on the side. Enjoy!
