This is not an official Light Bites Group Recipe but it has been sitting in my drafts for awhile now so I thought I would upload it.
My sister-in-law loves to garden and grows a wonderful garden every year. I don't get many of the produce but she did give me some kale. I am starting to really fall in love with kale. I also really love soup. I think I could be happy to eat soup every day and maybe for every meal. Unfortunately or fortunately for me no one else likes soup as much as I do. I love to make a big pot of soup and when I do I think of my Great-Grandma Rose, she had a great gift of making wonderful soups out of leftovers. I didn't add any cheese to this because my intention was to freeze most of it right away.
Ingredients
adapted from Cooking Light
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
7 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
4 cups coarsely chopped peeled Yukon gold potato (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
6 cups chopped fresh kale (about 3/4 pound)
1 teaspoon dried basil
9 tablespoons (about 2 ounces) shredded Gruyère cheese
Directions
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook 8 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Stir in broth, potato, salt, and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until potato is tender.
