Smoked Potato Kale Soup
For: 3 Bowls
- 3 Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 1 Onion
- 2 Carrots
- 1 Celery Stalk
- 1 Bunch Kale
- Butter
- 1 qt Chicken or Veggie Stock
- 1/2 Cup Yogurt
Instructions
- Chop about 3 yukon potatoes and roast at 350 until tender. Smoke the potatoes if you have the ability to do so. If not, it's still gonna be delicious. Meanwhile dice up some onion, carrot(optional), celery(optional) and the stems from a bunch of kale. Saute the onion, carrot, celery and kale stems in a few tablespoons of butter until sweated and tender, about 10 minutes. Add in a quart of chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Take the leaves of the kale and toss in olive oil and salt until coated. Roast about 10 minutes at 450 until browned and crisp. Add the whole mess to a blender with a bit of yogurt (I did 2 batches with a little of each ingredient in each batch.) Add one last puff of smoke into the blender and blend smooth. Return to the pot and bring to a simmer before serving. Serve with a little of that crispy reserved kale. I told you to reserve some kale right?
