- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups kale, chopped (stems removed)
- 1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream for a non-vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced potatoes, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vegetable broth to the pot. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
- Allow the potatoes to cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
- Stir in the chopped kale, dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the kale is wilted.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a standard blender.
- Return the soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or add red pepper flakes for a little heat if desired.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy warm.
