Week 15 Box + Potato & Kale Soup Recipe

The season is winding down and the rain has been too sparse.

Here's what I'm seeing for our boxes this week

Onions
Potatoes
Kale (where available)
Tomatoes & Cherry Tomatoes
Basil
Oregano
Apples (where available)

POTATO AND KALE SOUP

1 lb. kale, tough stems removed
1 lg. onion, chopped
1 tbsp. butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 lg. potatoes
5 c. water or stock
salt and pepper, to taste

Sauté onion and garlic in the butter until onion is clear and soft (do not allow garlic to brown). Add 2 cups water (or broth) and the potatoes. Simmer, covered, until potatoes are fork tender. Wash kale and chop; steam kale separately. When potatoes are well done, puree half of them with remaining water.
Combine all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. If needed, add more water or milk for desired consistency.
