Luckily, there’s just what is needed estimate house favorite potato Kale soup it’s an easy one that is very tasty to make a house favorite potato kale soup. It’s an easy one that is very tasty.

Heat oil in soup pot; add onions, garlic, chile flakes, and salt, and sauté until onions are translucent. Add potatoes and enough chicken stock to cover by 4 inches. Bring to a boil and cook, covered, until potatoes are about half done. Add kale and cook, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, 10-15 minutes. Puree soup in blender or food processor.

Thanks for sharing such wonderful comfort food. I have a pot of vegetable soup simmering on the stove now!
Sounds delicious and perfect for these chilly days.
