Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Kale and Potato SoupBy Cait , author of Witch in the Kitchen Kale belongs to the same cancer-fighting family that includes broccoli and cabbage, but its sweetness and superior cold-weather keeping qualities make it a popular autumn ingredient. Kale and Potato Soup, with its moony potatoes and earthy kale, would have made a perfect potluck offering for a recent full moon celebration around a bonfire. It is simple earthy cooking at its best: the kale and tender potatoes combine beautifully with onions and garlic to make a simple soup rich in vitamins, minerals, and pleasure. INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons olive oil1 medium onion, chopped2 cloves garlic, minced3 large potatoes, chopped2 teaspoons dried thyme6 cups vegetable stock1 bunch kale, rinsed, stemmed, and coarsely choppedDollop of sour cream and sprinkling of toasted pumpkin seeds, optional garnish 1. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat, add onion and garlic, and saute, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, being careful not to brown the garlic. Add potatoes, stirring to coat with oil. Sprinkle with thyme. 2. Add stock and bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add kale and continue cooking another 15 minutes, until potatoes are soft and kale is tender. 3. Lightly mash the potatoes with a potato masher and serve soup in warmed bowls with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds, if desired. Serves 6. Suzi What is a weed?
