Kale and Potato Soup

Happy Sunday!

Yesterday I found this kale at the market. I asked for about 500 grams, because that’s what a euro would buy me. The farmer grabbed an absolutely ridiculously large bunch and plopped it on the scale. Umm…a slightly smaller bunch please? I like kale, but the whole plant is not necessary. I still walked away with enough for at least two meals.

After perusing my cookbooks and a few recipe websites, I decided to go with Alice Waters’ Curly Kale and Potato Soup (pg 254 in The Art of Simple Food). It turned out to be perfect for the first snowy day in Siegburg. Just what I needed–warming, healthy, and delicious! Its a nice mix of chunky potato and kale in a light broth flavored by onions and garlic. Finished of course with a sprinkle of parmesan, sea salt, and drizzle of olive oil. So it was gourmet Sunday light and healthy style.

Have a great week!

  1. I will make this soup in two days. I’m making my regular potage parmentier today since it’s my liquid day. I’ll let you know if it works with chard not kale. And by the way I’ve made a Mario recipe with Napa Cabbage that is just like this.
