By AlexG

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 large Spanish onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 8 cups cold water
• 1 pound kale, very fine julienne
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the potatoes, cover everything with the water, bring to a boil and lower the heat, simmering until the potatoes are almost done, about 15 minutes.

2. When the soup is cool enough to handle, purée it in the food processor and return to the pot. Add the greens, bring everything back to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, ladle into bowls.
