Description

This creamy kale and potato soup is perfect for warm and healthy family suppers. Packed with nutritious kale and tender potatoes, it offers a comforting and satisfying meal that’s both flavorful and easy to prepare. The addition of cream lends a luscious texture, while smoked paprika adds a subtle smoky depth, making it a heartwarming dish everyone will love.

Ingredients

Soup Base

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Main Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 cups chopped fresh kale, stems removed

Seasoning and Finishing

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add potatoes and liquids: Add the diced potatoes, vegetable broth, and water to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  3. Simmer until potatoes are tender: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer gently for 15 to 18 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Add kale: Stir in the chopped kale and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the kale is wilted but still vibrant green.
  5. Blend the soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until it is mostly smooth, leaving some texture if you prefer a chunkier consistency.
  6. Season and finish: Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk), salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Allow the soup to simmer for another 2 minutes to meld the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter soup, substitute heavy cream with milk or unsweetened coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
  • This soup pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently before serving.
