Preparation
- Step 1
Remove the stems from the kale, wash the leaves and cut them into strips about half an inch wide. You should have about 6 to 8 cups.
- Step 2
Peel the potatoes, and chop them up very fine. Add the salt to the water, and bring it to a boil. Add the chopped potatoes, return to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, covered. Add the kale, and cook 2 minutes more. Taste for seasoning, and add salt if necessary. Serve with a splash of olive oil and, if desired, the garlic sausage heated briefly in the soup.

This was disappointing. The broth didn't develop much flavor. Just bits of potato and shredded kale floating in hot water.
This soup was a revelation. The absolute simplest of ingredients transformed into a super clean tasting meal. Now chopping 2 pounds of potatoes fine is a dicey proposition. OK, groan. But the potatoes jump about in and off the cutting board along the way. so there's a floor cleanup. The soup is really elevated by a very good garlic sausage and a finishing quality olive oil. It suffers in reheat after a night in the fridge.
To avoid having potatoes roll around while preparing, cut each potato in half lengthwise, then lay the halves on their flat sides before dicing.
Can i blend the potato-kale mix after cooking it ? Will it change the flavour ?
I'm sure you could though I think the distinct textures of kale and potato would be lost. Worth an experiment.
