Ingredients

Scale

Broth

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

Vegetables

  • 1 cup fresh kale or spinach, chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups diced potatoes

Dairy

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Oils and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté diced onions, carrots, and celery until tender and fragrant, about 6–8 minutes. This creates the flavorful foundation for the soup.
  2. Add Garlic and Potatoes: Stir in minced garlic and diced potatoes, cooking for 2 more minutes to release their aromas. The potatoes will help thicken the soup as they cook.
  3. Pour in Broth and Simmer: Pour chicken or vegetable broth into the pot, scraping the bottom to lift all the flavorful bits. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15–20 minutes.
  4. Blend Partially for Creaminess: Use an immersion blender or carefully transfer a portion of the soup to a blender and pulse until smooth but still textured. This step adds creamy body without using too much cream.
  5. Add Greens, Cream, and Parmesan: Return the blended soup to the pot if needed, then stir in chopped kale or spinach, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook a few more minutes until the greens wilt and cheese melts into the soup.
  6. Season and Serve: Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Stir well and ladle into bowls ready for the ultimate cozy dinner.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a more vibrant flavor and better melting quality.
  • Do not over-blend; keep some chunky texture for satisfying bites.
  • Sauté vegetables gently to bring out their natural sweetness and depth.
  • Add greens at the end to avoid over-softening them.
  • Adjust creaminess gradually by adding cream bit by bit until preferred richness is reached.
