  • 8 cups water
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

Recipe Notes

  • Serve your kale potato soup with a French roll or another bread of your choice.
  • This recipe will make about 9 cups of soup or six 1-1/2 cup servings.
  • A word about the chopped kale. You can buy the kale already washed and chopped in a bag if you like. I prefer to by a bunch of kale and do the work myself. It is much more economical. Just wash the leaves well, cut and discard the large stem from the center of the leaf, and then chop your kale. You will only need 3 or 4 large leaves for this recipe. So one bunch will probably supply enough kale for two pots of soup. Don’t worry. Kale keeps well in the refrigerator.
  • I recommend Herbox® vegetable bouillon cubes. I prefer to use my own homemade or leftover vegetable stock, but I don’t always have some on hand. Besides, making your own homemade vegetable stock is another project which I will get to in a later post.
  • Be careful with the white pepper. It has a very strong flavor and if you accidentally add too much, the flavor will dominate the soup which is not a good thing.
